Terrible employer

Pros

I can not find anything positive on this jobs. It's just a job - nothing more. At least one pros is the salary - it's relatively good.

Cons

Terrible working atmosphere, extremely high pressure from management, people are nothing - just a piece that can be easily replaced, all requests for courses/training are denied, no chance to carrier grow, zero benefits (just salary, nothing more), working hours from 8 to 18 every day, zero work/life balance, extra shifts without any compensation, no home office possible.

Hazardous place to work for

Pros

The only good reason I can think of to work there is that they pay you on time.

Cons

You never know when you are going to go home. Management treats you like you are vermin and constantly bullies you. They expect you to know everything from the very first day. They blame you for things that aren't even your responsibility. They make you fee worthless. More than 3 co-workers of mine had to have back surgery from working there. Its so fast paced and intense to the extent of harming your health. They abuse you mentally.
