Grateful for the First Job But...
Pros
1. Bonuses – it’s taxed 25% though 2. Overtime opportunities – could push you into the next tax bracket with the bountiful opportunities though 3.Experience – for newbies in the working field by learning about work politics and the daily grind of working
Cons
1. No work/life balance – a lot of overtime (40+ hours and 6 days a week) for a long time will burn you out 2. No consistent schedule – schedule is given out every Friday for the next work week and you could work morning, nights or weekends 3. Inept Team Leaders – they are usually promoted based on their performance from their previous position (which is not management based) 4. Benefits –good on paper, but PTO would either get denied or not accepted in a timely manner (the week before); other benefits are the same if you go to another company 5. Compensation – pay is not equivalent to the amount of work 6. Unprofessional – young employees 7. Slow Growth
