Pros

Besides enjoying the company of a few employees on the design team, there are none. It was a nightmare.

Cons

I was with this company from 2014 - 2015 and I was met daily with racial micro aggressions, undermining, over-privileged employees, and management who would rather take advantage of your time and role scope than actually advocate for you and help you to flourish. I had little to no support, was asked to be "nicer" to caucasian employees, while not receiving the same treatment and understanding, and was met with resistance when asking for improvements in my compensation that was appropriate for the amount of work I was being asked to daily. Finally, towards the end of my time there, they changed my role under the guise of "advocacy" only to unceremoniously fire me while I was on PTO under the thinly veiled reasoning of "no longer needing the position."

Pros

Meals provided for shift, good work shifts, interesting and sometimes creative work. Fair pay.

Cons

The organization initially demonstrated strong performance; however, subsequent developments indicate a decline in operational effectiveness, potentially associated with increased procedural complexity within the human resources function. There is a perceived lack of equitable advancement opportunities, with promotions and compensation adjustments appearing to be influenced by personal relationships with management rather than objective criteria. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and their potential impact on fair treatment across demographic groups. Employees report limited responsiveness to feedback, alongside an increased emphasis on surveillance, including monitoring through cameras, audio recording, and company applications, as well as close managerial oversight. There is also a reported climate of apprehension regarding potential retaliation, contributing to reduced trust within the workforce. Employees may be reluctant to provide candid feedback through established channels due to concerns about negative professional consequences, as well as a broader perception of being continuously observed and monitored.
