Pros

People reporting to me were top notch

Cons

Long hours, working nights and weekends. Workload is more of at least 1.5-2 positions. Leadership describes environment and culture as “fast-paced, work hard/play hard”. understatement of the year to describe very high stress and high volume. No worklife balance and toxic management and culture. Micromanaging leadership. Job very negatively affected mental health and family life. Culture is to overwork management since they are salaried and keep hourly employees to just 40 hours to save on OT. Wouldn’t be as bad if management actually set these expectations honestly but snowing employees into thinking that this is the best ever job environment and then gaslighting them is just wrong on so many levels. Just my experience. My peers and upper management seemed programmed to thrive in this type of chaos and unnecessary drama. Paid decent annual salary and bonus structure but when divided by the number of hours worked, hourly rate was minuscule. Just not worth it.

Pros

Team and peers were amazing to work with. Super helpful and collaborative.

Cons

Work-life balance was good at a general employee level but not so for management. 70-80 hour workweeks were not uncommon.
