Most stressful job I've ever had

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits; many amenities within the headquarters.

Cons

Within a few months of working here, I turned something in a little late and was sternly talked to by three different people. The head of our group even threatened to get HR involved! I've never had anything even remotely close to this happen to me before. I'm a very conscientious and hard working person. It's also nearly impossible to know why people do and say the things they say. For example, it's possible that I was targeted for reasons that had nothing to do with me (and by the way, every single other person on the team had something late that week). I did _not_ enjoy the politics. Subsequently we were informed we were expected to work 10 hour days everyday, and work Saturdays on-demand. Ugh!

Pros

You'll encounter great people to work with, some guests are also approachable, if you have a degree you might able to become a manager "ETL".

Cons

They cut hours so many times, lack of communication, too stressful at times, too many tasks for one person, management is very pushy towards red cards. They have their favorites as well. I could say a lot more about the Super Target in El Paso...

Pros

-Knowing the clearance in the store the moment it happens. -Team Member Discount + Red Card savings = you don't pay tax! -BBQ days, free snacks in the breakroom (sometimes), friendly competitions between team members with prizes! -They do hand out recognition, and even when it's forced it still feels nice.

Cons

-The favoritism is ABSOLUTELY disgusting. -If you are not kissing someones behind, you will not go very far!!! -They expect you to work A LOT harder than humanly capable. On top of answering cash calls, covering someone who calls in sick every day, answering guest phone calls, helping guests in the store etc, etc.... -They don't fire people... period! You could get away with murder at this place. -You could call in sick for a quarter of your shifts, and you will not be penalized. -Those who show up every day, on time and do the work they are asked to do are the ones who are being penalized to work harder and do more. -It seems they only notice the work you DON'T do as opposed to the work you DO do. -They believe in 'corrective action' which means if you are horrible to other team members, you will not get fired. -Another team member could be harassing you for months and they wont do a thing about it -The management lie to you, tell you what you want to hear, promise you great things and then turn around and spread rumors behind your back
