Pros
- You will learn how to operate in survival mode 24/7. Your work may not necessarily showcase your potential, but your ability to impress management surely will.
- Your manager will handle everything else except you. They will teach you self-reliance by not helping, guiding, or supporting you when you're in a tough spot. If you're lucky, they might even push you off the cliff.
- You will master the art of isolation, as mingling with colleagues and making potentially good friends will be difficult. You'll need to justify every interaction, bathroom visit, or adjustment to the air conditioner. "Feeling cold" won't cut it.
- You'll develop qualities like self-doubt, being blamed for others' mistakes, burnout, faking smiles, crying in the bathroom, and more!
- Your memory skills will skyrocket from documenting your work daily, weekly, and monthly. (Micromanagement? What's that? Here, we closely oversee every detail of every employee in the name of record-keeping.)
- You'll forget about comp time, sick leave, vacation days, national holidays, tea breaks, timely paychecks, creativity, freedom of speech, and sometimes, even the will to live.
Cons
- They've hired and retained people not interested in benefiting the company or society, but solely to make life hell for fellow employees.
- Think working overtime on weekends, while at home, when sick, and during family functions is tough? Wait until they dock a day's pay for being 10 minutes late three times in a month.
- The training period is a myth. You'll be trained to live in constant fear of being fired for no good reason.
- For the sake of your mental health and that of your loved ones, please avoid joining this company.
