Pros
Wonderful co-workers, if you ever have time to talk to them during your copious hours of unpaid overtime.
Kontras
It saddens me to have to write this, but I think it’s important for people to know what’s truly happening behind the scenes here. An important lesson in wellness - many businesses in this industry will claim they care about people's well-being and health, but they don't necessarily practice what they preach, and aren't always in it for the right reasons. This place is absolutely TOXIC. OSEA talks a big game and pretends to care about their employees, but behind the scenes it’s an absolute mess. Terrible communication all around, creating constant miscommunication, stress, and conflict for everyone. I worked there for 3 years in multiple departments/ roles as I was promoted, so I can say with confidence these problems are company wide. When other companies upped their “front line” workers pay during the pandemic (as they rightly should have when people are putting their health and lives on the line) OSEA cut their “front line” worker’s pay!! They expect the world and don’t fairly compensate their employees. LOTS of unpaid overtime. They say you're a part of the “OSEA family", but unless you're actually a relative, it’s clear you’re not. You’ll spend years of working your butt off in hopes that your efforts are recognized and appreciated, and will instead receive constant emotional and verbal abuse without any thanks. And yes- this toxicity comes straight from the top, so it's unfortunately unavoidable. (**Note that not a single review for OSEA has "CEO Approval" marked... This is not a coincidence...) They talk a big game, occasionally throwing some money at you for "wellness benefits", and like to have flashy parties to show off how well they’re doing, but that's the extent of it. Use extreme caution here- no matter how hard you work or how dedicated you are, in the end you are absolutely expendable. They play favorites, and if you speak out against the toxicity and bullying, they are cut throat, ruthless, and you will be punished for it. This is deeply seeded and even in their "HR". 100% not worth it.
