Pros
Free coffee for all employees. Solid benefits package.
Cons
Our team had 2 members, myself (the lead) and a junior associate. After 6 months, I would respond to 200+ emails a day, work 60+ hours a week..my coworker would surf the internet all day long, show up to work late, leave early, speak rudely to myself and others..when I brought this to the attention of my manager, that the work distribution was uneven and it was killing me..my manager told me to "shutup and worry about myself". It was later brought to my attention that my coworker and my manager were friends..they would hang out outside of work, send each other online videos, etc.. all while I was in a corner doing ALL the work. I took no days off in the first 6 months of my employment. After the new year, I became seriously ill and had to take 2 weeks off from work. My doctor ordered me not to work and to relax.. my manager pressured me to go against my doctor's orders and threatened that the company would put me on a "long term disability" list if I didn't show up to work. They threatened not to pay me because I fell sick. (AGAIN, I didn't take 1 day off in 6 months..god help you if you do) I eventually left the company. For 6 months, I constantly followed up to have my 401K savings transferred to my current company's plan. For 6 months I was ignored. I left over 70+ voice messages. It wasn't until I threatened to get a lawyer involved that they took my inquiry seriously and reimbursed me for my savings plan. The salary was also underwhelming relative to the work. This was my first position out of college so I didn't really complain...but the 60+ hour work weeks, the office politics, the lack of sufficient training, the 200+ emails a day really got to me. Not a lot of growth. My manager was with the company for 5 years and made about 60k. With my whopping 1 year of experience, I received an 80k offer for a different company. RO will constantly try to underestimate your worth so they don't have to promote you when you produce great work. Aim higher, especially if you're college educated.
