Hi all, throwaway for reasons. I currently work in the finance field but am at the bottom of the chain. I just graduated college last year and have been working at my current job for almost 6 months. I like the work i do but i do not like the environment. My team is terrible, i come in at 8 and leave around 5 each day, and the members of my team come in at 9:30-10 and leave around 6-7 and complain when i leave at 5. (Our hours are supposed to be 8-5 with an hour lunch) but we can adjust accordingly if needed. Its a small/medium size office around 350 people but a majority of these people are all snooty and wont even give you the time of day when you walk by them in the hall and say good morning, they literally look at the floor or the wall next to them and ignore you. A lot of these people seem dead inside like the job has taken their soul, i guess im not sure if this is how it is everywhere though.
They pay pretty decently for a bottom of the chain position and said "there are many avenues to move up and fast" when i applied. Yet the girl that is on my team has been here for 5 years and hasn't gotten a promotion and from the looks of it gets paid less than I do and she's supposed to be my superior. I was offered a job in the same field at a corporation that is more "millenialized", open offices, younger workers more my age, and i have quite a few friends that work there.
The only downside is its 3 to 4 dollars less an hour, it has better benefits though, a lot better work environment and promotions happen a lot faster, they were saying probably within the year I would be in a higher position just because of my experience. But i dont want to take that into account if the promotion doesn't happen. I have about $10,000 saved up so that would be able to hold me off for a while if money gets tight but with the lower pay i shouldn't be scrambling for money still.
TLDR; Should i stay with a company ive been at for only 6 months but dread coming into work because of the environment, or take a $4 an hour loss and move to a company with a much better work environment that i would enjoy going to every day?
