Pros
I can't think of any...
Kontras
When I was offered the position, I asked for a few days to give an answer. They replied that they needed an immediate answer, as they needed me to start 5 days later. I happily accepted my first job offer out of college and was filled with excitement to begin my career. Unfortunately, that mindset faded quickly within the first few weeks of starting. I was placed in a giant cubicle, isolated from the rest of the company and subsequently forgotten about for 3 MONTHS. I am literally not kidding when I say that I was not given a single ounce of work to do for my first three months. In fact, I was never even trained for my position. My "manager" left the company about 2 weeks after I started. I was then not assigned a new manager for several months. In other words, nobody ever came to check on me. For months. I wasn't even sure what exactly my position entailed. I could go into work and leave after 8 hours having not seen or spoken to a single person (meanwhile 300 people work in the office). I would ask for work to do and was told that it was a slow time and things would pick up. As my feeling of self worth rapidly declined, I couldn't help but wonder why HR needed to hire someone so quickly for a position that was non-existent. 3 MONTHS AFTER starting work, I was finally given my first project. I was thrilled to actually have work to do, but found out quickly enough that these periods would come and go between radio silence. Enough about my position though, let's talk about the management. The company was restructured 3 times in less than a year. I bounced around between 3 different managers, none of which actually cared about the work we did, until something went wrong. I would sit day after day twiddling my thumbs and begging for work to do, but the managers couldn't even muster up any sort of busy work for us. I will never recommend this company to anyone. In addition to negatively impacting my mental health, the pay and benefits are also absolute crap. The managers are horrible and the coworkers are cliquey and unfriendly. But hey, if you like watching Netflix instead of having real work to do then maybe this place is for you.
