Supportive environment but rigid management processes and low pay

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great training Supportive management. Laid back coworkers. Great entry point if you have 0 experience or knows nothing about technology 4 days work week. Decent temporary job.

Cons

10 hours work day. Fast Food worker's pay rate. Some lower level management tries a bit too hard to show out. Classic Corporate Values. Insincerity. "Positivity bombing" They will tell you to be yourself, but fellow neurospicy folks please remember that it's still a corporate environment. Rigid and strict structure. Lazy way to micromanage and monitor lower level employees from middle & upper management. All the cons that goes with being a lower level peon in a corporation.
