Your teammates are sometimes supportive.

Zero training or shadowing other than "read all this documentation". Management cannot communicate whatsoever and hold frequent meetings to "brainstorm" which effectively accomplishes nothing and contradict themselves constantly. I hope you absolutely love filling in endless cross-checking trackers and/or fields inside and outside of arhaic software that will make you work long grueling hours where still nothing is ever right cross-functionally. Your teammates and immediate managers will not fight with or for you because they are inexperienced and frightened. OT is paid as time in lieu. You don't have sick days and they're lumped in with your vacation. Expected to tell them when you're taking breaks i.e. "I'm going to the doctor" then you have to make up that time. The healthcare and benefits coverage is below sub-par. Expected to reinvent the wheel for upper management who don't know how to run a company whatsoever.
