Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Managers each have their favorites and their special treatment of others shows, especially in HQ. HQ is super cliquey and if you aren’t part of that clique, you are not treated fairly. HR is unprofessional, dysfunctional, disorganized, and has an extremely incompetent leader. It’s going downhill … fast. Lack of communication and any expectations are never set. There is no onboarding, you are left to your own devices. Good luck!

Pros

You can do very little day to day, if you have the patience, and that's your goal

Cons

Everything is an emergency. Very little is organized, even though you'll have 100 team meetings a week.
