Third Bridge reviews

-From associate to project manager there is no salary raise, but you will have 2x the amount of work to do. They raise it after 1 year, but we are still MASSIVELY underpaid compared to what our competitors make -You will not be valued by upper management (AVP in Los Angeles) as she is never satisfied with the work you've completed -You have a monthly points target that if you don't hit they may put you on a PIP (Performance Improvement Program); The account you are overseeing could be breaking quarterly budgets and they still might consider firing you since they play massive favorites -AVP plays favorites; Purposefully gave a failing account to a project manager to get them fired, but they turned the account around and still does not give they any credit, put 2 people in a program to become manager, and hired someone else who was her favorite and not ready for the job, and doesn't interact with anyone (Cuts you off constantly when speaking to her and micromanages projects she can't help with) -They continue to cut different perks that include lowering budgets for our social events once a month, company-provided lunches, etc. -Clients that you work for can say anything/everything without consequence and you have to take it (AVP and managers will not advocate for you and will step in and kiss up to them) because that's how we make money -Training and Development they are currently revamping, but they throw you to the wolves after your week of initial training -Communication: Horrible and communicate important messages over Slack -Incentives: They have this Wednesday power hour where you can get Third Bridge Points if you onboard people; They're stupid and the winner usually gets a couple of dollars and you are scolded even if for the remaining 8 hours there. Makes no sense -Schedule: 9am-6pm Monday-Thursday and 8am-5pm on Friday; 5-6pm almost no productivity comes from that last hour -You don't have to work after hours, but it is STRONGLY hinted that you need to work after hours, so the work-life balance is not very good (Sometimes you're forced to work late in order to just hit target) -Lied about a benefit; I can't get into the specifics, but they shad a program where they said they would help with someones career and once that person hit all the targets they said that program never existed (They announced this to the entirety of project managers at Third Bridge, but they said they never said that) -High high high turnover rate; They will say "The college age group usually has a high turnover rate", but they have lost so many great talents because of the AVP in Los Angeles; They will continue to lose people but once again they don't care -Management does not care AT ALL, Avoid this job and please find something better

- The environment feels like it's straight out of a 2000s american highschool movie. Everyone is "in a relationship" with everyone, there's gossip everywhere, etc. It's like working with children, but worse - Management is horrible. They'll be so nice to you, until you're no longer useful (when you move department, your performance slows, etc) or until they're stressed - The work ours are HORRIBLE. It's not a 9-6, it's a 7:30 until whenever the client stops emailing you. If they email at 11PM, you're expected to reply and sort their requests out - The clients, and experts, who you'll be constantly in contact with can be mean and mouthy and you'll just have to take it and suck it up - You don't know what stress is until you've worked in connections at Third Bridge. EVERY.SINGLE.MINUTE of your day is mapped out and filled up. Literally, every single minute. You'll be working on one thing and 5 different people will be messaging you left and right and chasing you for an update about what you've done so far on their projects. That's on top of the clients messaging you and chasing you at ungodly hours of the morning and night There are so many more cons, but i'm getting riled up just thinking about them
