Pros
If you are lucky enough to get a job with a good team, the people outside of the ELT are actually pretty enjoyable, have hearts and care. I have seen this first hand that groups of people actually band together to try and compile whatever little forms "happiness" you can at the NOT-SO- Happiest Place to work. The radio is always on - but this can be a Con depending on the day and most often turns into a Con because after 25 songs play once they repeat 5x. At one time I felt genuine care from my managers, and through out my time there and even from co-workers who were there longer than me, high level executives quitting or being fired ( 2 CFOs in 2014, 3 HR SVPs in 1.5 years, head of accounts leave, constant turnover, firing of actual good workers because on a whim they have budget constraints) this list does go on. If there was some way to actually focus on what could make FSO the company it says it is, they should because on paper it is good unfortunately it isn't reality.
Kontras
Read the Pros.... Constant lies. POOR HR leadership, compliance, training, transparency and practices. For a company that calls itself the people's company, there is NO i repeat NO leadership or successful HR department - but it isn't their fault the business model is complete BS. All client deals are set up wrong - and people go round and round trying to figure out why the sales team sold the deal the way they did only to get it pushed off to everyone's fault expect for the person at FSO who signs the contract or approves the deal beforehand - it really is awful business. I could go one about how there is no respect for the HQ workers who aren't in the ELT or Sales Team. They are often the last to leave, do good work and no one speaks on their behalf. Instead it is why are you in the lunch room, how long was your break, why are you talking to this person - it is literally the epitome of micromanaging and why it is ineffective. This doesn't foster a happy environment. Especially the low pay to the vast majority of the staff, the fact that because the deals sold previously were bad business - to be "profitable" they took hourly employees who are already lower end wages and deducted money from their rates - is loving and a caring company -NO. They don't think people talk about this to each other and are disgusted to be apart of something like this - shame on you.
