Vantaggi
Compensation is strong, and the insurance benefits are good. However, it’s important to set boundaries early if you want to maintain a 40-hour workweek, as many teams, especially understaffed ones, regularly works +50 hours a week.
Svantaggi
There is essentially no training here, it’s a sink-or-swim environment. Many department heads do not follow through on commitments or support their teams effectively, and responsibilities are often pushed downward rather than managed appropriately. Because everyone is already stretched thin, it’s difficult to get help when needed. While workflows technically exist, many departments don’t follow them unless something escalates, at which point the blame often falls on team members instead of leadership. The office environment has also been challenging. Ongoing construction has closed restrooms and stair access on multiple floors. There’s no cafeteria, only two microwaves per floor (which often means waiting in line just to heat lunch), and no snacks or meaningful break accommodations. The workspace itself can feel stale and uncomfortable.
The overall culture feels high pressure. Many employees regularly work late past 8pm, and management does not appear to set clear boundaries or prioritize a balanced, sustainable work environment. Much of the work ends up being “firefighting” instead of planned execution.
