Cons
This cannot be stressed enough: the junior data analyst team is incredibly mismanaged. Instead of constructive criticism, leadership chooses to yell at the team and make snide remarks. Most of the managers on this team have little to no experience in management, which makes it incredibly difficult for such a large team to work smoothly. There is blatant abuse of authority and a severe lack of communication which leads to inefficient workflow and JDA's being yelled at for mistakes made on the management side. JDA's are essentially shunned from the company and given little to no opportunity to communicate with other teams or move laterally to another department. Be wary of the job description as this position is actually a data entry position rather than data analysis. This position does not utilize any programming or analysis skills, rather it mainly involves strong verbal comprehension and the ability to fill out a blank form. There is an expectation to work more than 40 hours/week and keep track of time spent working even though this is a salaried position. Despite being told that this is a flexible 9-5 job in the interview, there is very little work/life balance. They do not make efforts to help people succeed and expect you to improve on your own. Your work is assessed on an irregular basis and little help is provided on how to improve the quality of your work. Management does not take into account the many roadblocks facing the JDA team and do not want any excuses as to why there is a dip in production sometimes. Overall the constant negative reinforcement leads to a cycle of stress and job anxiety that negatively impact work.
