Pros

great coworkers and camaraderie. That was about the only thing good about working there was how diverse and friendly everyone was.

Cons

upper management, wages, working conditions. Upper management was clueless about the way things were run in our office. They were EXTREMELY strict on all fronts. On top of that, the pay (when specified on the job announcement) was $12-$14 but when you are hired EVERYONE starts at $12 no matter what. In the 2 years I worked there I only gained .50 cent raise. That was TWO RAISES. And everyone got the same. There is no room to express your assets to the company to say why you deserve more. There is also VERY little room for growth. Management definitely plays favorites and there are few opportunities to rise through the ranks.

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
