Vantaggi
The mentor program for employees is a great way for staff to confidentially seek advice and guidance from an employee with more experience and in a higher position than them. Every staff is set up with a mentor, so it’s random selection. The other pro is getting to leave at the end of every day.
Svantaggi
Almost every single review says that everyone who works here is super nice, but I disagree. I think most people have a keep-to-themselves-attitude, while others were fake-nice.
This is the most mundane 9 to 5 ever, the only exciting thing that ever happens is when the company goes to Vegas and everyone posts about it on LinkedIn for weeks and then everyone goes back to work. This is a glorified adult daycare.
The worst part about working here is how much senior employees are allowed to continuously abuse their power (because they have nothing better to do with their lives) and mistreat lower level employees, and no one does anything about it. In my specific department, I was working under someone deceptive, sneaky, and verbally nasty, and with a reputation for being a bully. Lucky me! I will not miss dreading what nasty messages I might open my phone to, though I think that experience is unique to me.
Hopefully with the recent change in leadership, there might be a difference in environment. Avoid this place at all costs, better yet just don’t even work in Virginia- find a way cooler job in DC!
