Over promise but under deliver

Pros

Culture and events are the main reasons why anyone stays.

Cons

Some of the most unprofessional, corrupt, and ignorance I have ever witnessed in senior leadership. The culture is highly rated because they know how throw great parties for employees. However, just like any other corporate environment- they really don’t value talent and Directors are clueless on what success looks like unless their name is taking the credit. Also, the pay is horrible- for any role. You will be paid substantially less than anyone else at your level in your industry. Leadership are completely out of touch with the current market value for most roles. Bottom line, once you’re in you can expect to be undervalued and underpaid.

Terrible work/life balance, kick you out to the curb when you're no longer useful to them

Pros

Decent salary and commission bonus structure

Cons

Expect to stay past a minimum of 1-2 hours every shift They make you do calls after hours to drive in traffic the next day, only to conveniently "forget" that it happened when upper management asks about it to make themselves look better Don't let them catch you skimming through the work flow just so that you can get out at a decent time.. they'll fire you a week before you get your bonus :)
