Pros

If it is your first year out of college and you really enjoyed the fraternity system...you will like it here. You will need to be attractive, be part of the popular people (aka. suck up to HR and Jay specifically) and say 'yes' to literally everything.

Cons

Every day there, a little bit of your soul disappears. A 3 pony show down to only 1 pony. Owner (Jay Deutsch) and HR are delusional.

Pros

You get to work with some great brands if you are in the right geographic location.

Cons

The sales team does not get time to sell. You are so immersed in operational activities more than 70% of your time it completely does not allow you time to go out and sell to your clients. This is a sales ops run company not a sales driven company. Biannual sales meetings are a tradition that involves drinking and all around frat like behavior. There is no follow thru from upper management on any promises, sales incentive programs or just general company direction. The financial stability is in constant question. The non-compete issue also makes it more challenging to leave. Remember this is a BONUS plan and not a commission plan. They make it literally impossible for anyone to reach a bonus at the company so they are allowed to keep all of the revenue themselves.
