Vantaggi
A lot of money to be made but if it’s not here, you can definitely make a lot of money else where.
Svantaggi
Management does not care about you. You are expected to be in office before 8:30am and if you aren’t, good luck. Operating hours are from 9-5 but just know the expectations are to be in your seat and working way before 8:30. I’ve been in corporate for 4 years and decided recruiting would be a great new journey to explore (boy was I WRONG). If you don’t have support from your manager (you won’t find them here in DC)— you’re gonna sink & it’s gonna be fast. Even being new here, I could already smell the toxic “work life” balance and that your work comes first before anything else. I experienced my manager snapping her fingers in my face (while trying to wrap up my thoughts in the middle of work), as our director would be getting ready to start speaking to the office as a group. I was told if I were late again (I would be anywhere from 2-15 minutes late at times just because of the metro or train delays) that I would have to “part ways with motion” aka quit. They don’t care about your personal life or what you have going on if it’s not making them money. It’s easy to manipulate young out of college “work professionals” into thinking this is what the real working world is like” — but it’s not!!$ and that’s exactly why I wasn’t going to bow down to their expectations, their toxic ways & disturbing behavior. Stay away from here if you can! It’s awful.
