USA Today Employee

"Although the work environment has been friendly; the amount of work I am expected to produce each day is way too high to put out anything I could even remotely say I'm proud of. Managers and supervisors say they are listening to me about how unreasonable the deadlines are on my end but they continue to do absolutely nothing to help me out."
