Senior Financial Analyst in Tallahassee
Pros
The chairs were comfortable. They provided coffee and snacks.
Cons
Run. Do not do it. 45 hr/wk minimum - most are putting in over 50/wk in the "down weeks" and over 60 hrs/wk in others - all by the manager's design. Has a weird obsession with making you work nights and weekends and, oh yes, holidays. The manager doesn't show, even though they are the one pushing it. No bonuses (even though the recruiter said I qualified), no raises (only a merit increase across the company at less than 2%), and promotions are non-existent. Micro-manage your time (nightly reports of completions/pending/and eta's), your time off, and even appointments you need to take. Absolutely NO differentiation between personal time and work time. They expect all of it. The work is easy, but the micro-management to do it specifically their way is so extreme they force you into this night and weekend work. No allowance to do things differently so you can get it done quicker, because they're unable to understand simple changes to their micro-managed structure. You're called apathetic if you're not excited to do the purposefully over-burdening workload exactly their way and on your nights and weekends. Actually yell about hours and threaten your job if you do not fall in line. Don't worry, though, management won't do anything about it. They'll actually re-enforce it. Talked to HR after I left, and they listened - but not one ounce of empathy or "we will look into this" or "we do not accept this behavior." Intimidating and hostile workplace. This is the definition of it. Benefits (health/dental/401k) are not good either. 401k vests in 6 YEARS. It's actually comical that they would try to force nights and weekends without any leverage other than threatening to fire you.
