Every minute spent here felt like a harsh lesson. One of the clearest lessons was realizing how much work life balance had been taken for granted.
Contras
. The workloads are brutally excessive and completely draining.
. Employees are constantly expected to complete far too much work in far too little time.
. Work life balance is treated like a joke and is not respected at any level.
. Personal boundaries are routinely ignored with constant pressure to take on more and more work.
. The demands feel never ending with no real relief or pause.
