    It was a dead-end workplace—stuck in old ways, slow to change, no real support, and a culture that made you feel like you didn’t belong.
    The good thingsLessons Learned: Understanding what doesn’t work in a workplace is just as valuable as knowing what does.
    The challengesoutdated systems, slow processes, and no real support for professional growth. Any change took forever, and good ideas went nowhere. It felt like they were just going through the motions, with no interest in improving things.

    Bad management, terrible workplace environment.
    The good thingsGreat perks, great pay.
    The challengesDespite the great pay and perks, you really have to decipher whether it's worth it to go through the endless amounts of toxicity in this workplace. Too much politics, management often backs each other up throughout an ongoing issue and hardly does anything about the toxic drama that co-workers go through. It's really a hierarchical workplace.
