Pros
The opportunity to meet new people and build friendships with colleagues.
Cons
My experience with this organization began with an unusually prolonged interview process, where communication was limited and primarily one-sided. Meetings with senior leadership, including the CEO and HR, lacked substantive insight into the role I was being considered for. Once hired, the onboarding process was highly disorganized, setting a concerning tone for my time there. Work Culture & Ethics: Throughout my tenure, I encountered several practices that raised significant ethical and legal concerns. Many employees were aware of these practices but felt unable to voice concerns due to fear of retaliation. There was a noticeable atmosphere of favoritism and selective enforcement of policies, with certain employees receiving favorable treatment based on personal relationships rather than performance. Morally Questionable Behavior in HR: The HR (payroll) department, seemed particularly problematic, as I experienced actions that felt biased and unjust, with HR taking sides instead of fostering an inclusive, supportive environment. Several employees warned me about underhanded tactics within the department, and I personally observed instances where employees were disciplined without clear or consistent reasoning. Potentially Illegal Practices: Beyond moral concerns, there were issues that might cross legal boundaries, especially in how employee matters were handled. Confidential information was consistently shared inappropriately, and there seemed to be a disregard for proper documentation and processes in terminations and disciplinary actions. This created a sense of vulnerability and lack of security among staff.
