Pros

A paycheck. That is it.

Cons

Where does one even begin? - Unqualified management who only manage up - Layers upon layers of bureaucracy. Nothing ever gets done efficiently or correctly - Poor titles and general role clarity - Terrible, outdated processes (if there are any at all?) - Outdated technologies (everything breaks, constantly) - Management who will throw you under bus in a heartbeat - Management that takes credit for their employees work - Management that plays favorites with their employees - Unfriendly and untrustworthy co-workers (can’t blame them, as it’s just a side effect of an unhealthy workplace) - High impact decisions made off ‘feelings’ and not facts or data - No accountability placed on Managers (they’ll blame someone who makes 3 times less than them, instead) - Negative work environment, where people are extremely unhappy - They don't care about previous experience or skills. You either act like management's dog, and play by their rules, or you will be labeled as 'uncooperative' or 'confrontational' or some other ridiculous word meant to demoralize you to the point you have lost all your self worth. In that sense, it's like being a slave or infantry. If you like being abused and want to lose your career confidence—work here. If you are looking for something more fulfilling in a career and don’t feel like being miserable everyday—do not work here.

Pros

Great for entry level experience, my coworkers on my team were great, my direct manager was amazing great friends with her

Cons

This job paid awfully, I was having to pay for things on my credit card because between rent and my student loans I didn't make enough to afford the city, there is no advancement opportunities if you're great at your job. They would rather keep you at your current position than promote you because you'd be hard to replace. Senior leadership needs to seriously reconsider their actions if they want to keep people long term.
