9-hour workdays — potentially a benefit for those with a work-centric lifestyle.
Work is repetitive and lacks fulfillment.
Workplace environment tends to be cliquey.
Notable presence of weaponized shadow reporting — both my supervisor and I were targets. In one instance, my supervisor disclosed a false complaint made against them but warned they would deny the conversation if it was ever brought up.
I was publicly reprimanded at my workstation by my direct manager and received no follow-up despite reporting the incident.
Culture of performative busyness — I was assigned meaningless tasks by my manager that were never used, referenced, or followed up on, even after I made multiple inquiries.
HR practices were poorly managed — I was brought in for a supposed “quick chat” after an anonymous tip regarding a harmless interaction with a colleague. The meeting involved leading questions and lacked transparency. When I requested escalation, I was met with a manipulative conversation from the regional manager discouraging further action. After my term ended, I filed an ethics report, but I have yet to receive any update on its outcome.
