Pros
The pay was OK and I was warned that I might not like the job before I started, so they were honest about it up front. Nice location of the building - it's next to a gym and darling harbor, so after all of your steps done in the morning, you can have a great sanity break.
Cons
I felt like I was in a maze of micromanagement. The staff are all required to 6-sigma their entire daily jobs into little tasks on spreadsheets with timers on it - and I mean that is all day, all week, every month, every year. It's so micromanaged that you don't have time to do anything other than these little steps that are crammed into your day so apparently you will be more efficient. I am NOT a robot, and I don't believe that making staff perform steps for their jobs allows anything other than stupidity. IE: NOTHING was automated. There were about a million of these bonker little steps you had to go through, every day and what a lot of trouble you would get into if you forgot a little bonker step. To give you the extent of their micromanagement: I remember aligning some tags on documents that weren't quite straight and having one of the managers in there rip them off because they weren't straight - the tags had to be perfectly aligned and in colour sequence (no business purpose other than to look pretty - don't worry about staff time spent and wages getting a ruler to align the little stickers on the pages so so). As I said, it was just bonkers. How can this company possibly promote creativity in such a regimented environment? Completely Micromanaged to point of complete lunacy. If you like to be controlled for every breath you take, go there. But if you are like me, you will run a mile. I went to another company and implemented a system with workflow to automate every single manual bonker step so I would NEVER have to do anything so nutty again. Funny hey but sad and true.
