Vantaggi
The company is 4 decades old, pay is relatively good for the industry, and the office is clean.
Svantaggi
There is incredibly high turnover below the executive level. Administrative staff members leave in 6 months or less. Executives are a nightmare- demanding, unrealistic expectations, requests for training or resources are ignored. Executives know their industry, but are clueless as to how to effectively manage, maintain, or nurture staff. Saying that this is a high-pressure office is an understatement of monumental proportions. Staff level employees operate in constant fear, under constant criticism, and with no thanks or recognition of anything done correctly. Any mistake is immediately pointed out, often in front of coworkers. As it is such a dog-eat-dog environment, co-workers frequently throw each other under the bus. There is no ability to become friendly with co-workers and there is no trust or sense of camaraderie at all.
