Pros
- Hired people on brand with company's empathetic values - Kind teammates that made me feel heard - Good atmosphere - That 401(k) made me feel like I've made it - Looking back, the Washer/Dryer was very convenient
Cons
- Favoritism (It felt like the sociable ones had the upper hand over those who are constantly grinding.) I've witnessed some employees who worked their tails off, and tried moving up countless times. In some instances, I can see what is hindering their progress, but I find it to be unintentionally discerning. I've experienced a bit discernment, but I'd say I was guilty of handling my role very differently and spending much of my day helping my coworkers' projects and tasks rather than my creating my own workload. I had imagined I'd have some recognition for how much I loved being there, but I felt unappreciated and the feeling forced me to leave. I was likely too naive, but I wished I was given some guidance as I really wanted to stay there. I loved working with every single person there, and I'm grateful for the time I've had.
