Avantages
- You get every other Friday off, unless you get handed something at the last minute - You get every federal holiday off - Most people in the company will try to help or educate you
Inconvénients
- Accusatory and defaming language and bullying by supervisors - Lack of updated training materials or central company knowledge repository for new hires. COVID caught this company by surprise and exposed several deficient areas of their business continuity - Archaic and outdated IT systems and data repositories - Expected to perform almost all work in Excel, but given sub-standard laptops that frequently crash when you have 3+ Excel files open - Expectation to account for every 7 minute increment of your time on timecard - - this can and will be used by your supervisor as a means to micromanage and brow-beat for not meeting their expectations - Outside hires shouldn't take a position here if you're filling a role that a junior (but more experienced) team member wanted but didn't get promoted to. You're gonna have a bad time. - HR is very hands-off in most matters. There was no interaction with HR until I left the company and they wanted an exit interview. If they announced their presence to new hires during the first weeks aboard, they might have intervened when troubles first arise - Expect to work many more hours that what you will be allowed to put on your timecard. Expect to work unpaid weekends also. - Work/Life balance is not protected or enforced. You'll have to learn to stick up for yourself and not be walked all over - The last straw for me was when my boss criticized me for sending out emails at 4:00am instead of saving them for when everyone logged on in the morning. Zero concern was shown about how this was the third all-nighter I pulled that week to try and manage my workload. (these all-nighters definitely weren't allowed to show up on my timecard, the boss just wouldn't approve the timecard)
