Decent for a first job

Pros

99% of the people you work with are very nice, you can have interesting conversations with them and they usually want to help you. The flexibility of your work schedule is quite good. The amount of work is manageable.

Cons

Low wages, small raises. It doesn't really matter if you do your job well, you just have jump through some arbitrary corporate hoops to get a chance at a better salary. There is a lot of bureaucracy outside of your work related tasks. You have to do 4 annual reviews on career development, you have to make H&S and project presentations, coach other people, mandatory trainings, etc. Their main motto is "People first", but that just for the employees on the bottom of the food chain. For the management, not so much.

Rapidly sinking ship, stay away

Pros

There is a lot of potential

Cons

No leadership that doesn't care about employees despite "People First" being thrown in your face. Salary increases are shrinking by the year thanks to razor thin margins, all because it's easier for "leadership" to sit back and say everything is great. And that's factoring in "we have competitive pay" - only coming in last. Career growth is also non-existant; there's no planning for the future. Everything is focused on one bad acquisition after another because know one knows what else to do. "Benefits" are there just to check off boxes to say "we did it". It's honestly depressing, people are starting to leave in droves, but anyone who can make a positive change will do anything because they're already in a good enough spot for themselves.
