Vantaggi
I made some nice people, learned a lot about the industry, and was promoted quickly.
Svantaggi
Let's see...I had to get in contact with HR twice before deciding to leave. Management was ineffective, and part of the problem. Being a woman of color, i stood out like a sore thumb and was treated as such. Coworkers berating me, putting their hands in my hair, asking inappropriate questions, and overall being treated as if I did not belong. Upon speaking to the showroom supervisor, nothing came about because of the social relationship between management and the employees in question. Upper management spoke about acceptable behaviors but on occasion I have heard them speak down to employees and say nasty things. I knew it was time for me to leave when I began to wake up in the morning irritated and already defensive about what coworker would be saying something offensive. I'll also note that on the day that I put in my 2 weeks, a coworker said something disgustingly racist about a customer, and that is how I knew I was making the right decision.
