Pros

Got my foot in the door with IT, and some of the people there were fun to be around

Cons

I was there as an entry level IT Technician, or at least that was what I was lead to believe when being hired. Turns out I was not trusted to do anything, and the person in charge of me did a fantastic job of making me feel small, unintelligent, and just below them in general. The IT technician in charge of me was one of those people that try to have you do everything the same way they do it, and if your process isn't the same as theirs, its absolutely unacceptable, even if it brings the same results.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
