Work from home benefits overshadowed by toxic culture

Graphic designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- work from home - balanced work

Cons

- Cliquey - No one actually there for you - lack of communication - a very “dog eat dog” work place - A lot of back stabbing and lying in order to avoid looking bad, which means lack of maturity and growth in their workers. If you are a quiet person who just likes to do their best work, its not the best for you.
