        Business Outlook

        Pros

        The only pros were the hybrid work schedule, which could easily be fully remote and we had to fight to maintain after CoVid, and my first supervisor; but she, too, got fed up and left.

        Cons

        The CEO is ultimately about putting dollars in his pockets, not about his employees' well-being or happiness. There is definitely a "good ol' boys club" and the culture, sadly, is still chauvinistic. Management from the CEO down is completely out of touch with the day-to-day, what it actually takes to "get the job done", and what is realistic to expect from people. The good employees are just overworked and continually piled on with a heavier workload, while the weak employees sit around and do nothing, literally. I was completely overwhelmed for months on end while coworkers would legitimately sit around, facing away from their desks, and shoot the sh*t. When people express how overwhelmed they are, it falls on deaf ears and they are told to just "hang in there", I was not the only one fed this line of BS. Not to mention, compensation is nowhere near enough (even with commission) to carry that stress around all the time. Opportunity for advancement is weak at best, particularly if you're a woman (re the "good ol' boys club" mentioned above), all of the VPs are men, not a single woman in an upper management position. The one HR person does care and does her best, but has to "play by the rules" for her won well-being, she is treated no differently than the rest of the "pee-ons." Bottom line, if you want to work for a company/management that appreciates their employees and realizes that the employees are the reason they can line their pockets and live well, this is not the place for you.

                    - You get to work from home sometimes.

                    Cons

                    - No room for growth. Promotions are given to those who threaten to quit to get them to stay. - Pay is way below industry average. Annual raises are 2 or 3 percent company wide so in times of high inflation you lose money by staying here. There is no incentive to do good work. - Benefits are terrible. Very expensive insurance coverage. No 401k match. No HSA match. - There is no company culture. - Covid absolutely gutted this place of good people. - Bad attitudes and bad energy are a problem from top to bottom. - Micromanagement Avoid this place.

                      I have a curious question to ask. I'm working on a way to help people do better at their job interviews.  What would you say is the hardest part about taking a job interview? And what can make the experience easier?

                      Administrative Coordinator

                      Hi! I just had an interview yesterday which was the second one (first was with in house recruiter). This interview was with the person who would be my boss. There are still two panel interviews to go with the rest of the team (if they choose me to go forward). Do I send a thank you email for this round? Especially bc it was with the director? Thanks for the help!

                      Project Coordinator

                      So I have been made redundant recently ( Im still working till mid December) and Im currently applying to lots of jobs. And I was thinking if I should get in contact with the hiring manager/HR about my application, trying to explain my situation and I would like to get an answer ASAP if they want me in for an interview or not(but at the same time I don’t want to sound too desperate or too pushy) but it’s a bit stressful and difficult dealing with this ( so I’m a bit desperate TBH)
