Pros

Good clients. Employees are understanding and nice to work with. Not much to say. I am even writing filler text right now to fill the word minimum.

Cons

Bad work environment. Lack of objectives and goals. Lack of direction for the company. Constant arguing and lack of communication, often limited to Skype even in the same room. Long work hours, employees often stay longer at the office than 8 hours. No benefits. Miserable to work at. CEO clearly does not care about employees.

Pros

Work from home (but you are so monitored and micromanaged that you can barely get up to do something for 5 minutes quick)

Cons

I was so excited to join this team, and some of the people were great BUT the work environment of people so insanely monitored and micromanaged is so toxc and awful for employees mental health. If I got up to run to the mail room or move my laundry over for 5 minutes the system would alert that I wasn’t working. Which is insane, people take WFH roles to be able to have a little balance in their life and it felt worse than when I was in office 5 days a week. No real HR, some guy does it but has zero empathy and emotion. When I was inquiring about my layoff and if I got severance, PTO paid back, and other things he would respond with one word and be dismissive and never answer what I asked. When I got laid off it was a 5 minute call telling me they are eliminating my position bc of budgets and when I asked any questions I was meet with “I don’t know.” so unprofessional. I should of seen the red flags when they used Skype for the team chats and there was zero security in it. Overall, this job was the biggest let down ever and the pay was not great for how much they work they put on you.
