Terrible management

Pros

The people are nice. Company pays for alcohol

Cons

The management is confused by what is going on around them. The pay is low. Part of your pay is in MBOs which they do not tell you how you get them but will include them in your base pay. Basically they trick recent college grads into thinking they are making more money then they actually will.

Pros

Interacting with other co-workers, once a year company tropical trip, free alcohol and gift cards.

Cons

If you've read the negative reviews on this page, trust me when I say it's all true. Craid Abod, the CEO of this company, is a horrible human being. He will humiliate you in front of other coworkers if he catches you on your phone or not making cold calls. Most recently, he yelled at an entire floor of employees to get them off their phones. If you're a male, you will catch him on occasion pulling his pants down in the men's bathroom which is pretty weird. The hours are long and grueling and get worse during busy season AKA September where you are required work extra hours from the usual 8:30 am to 5:30 pm to show up on a Saturday even though it makes no sense as to why. There is no HR department which for a 10,000 employee company that is expected to hit $10 billion in sales within the next couple of years is quite unusual. There some good team leads but unfortunately there are a ton of bad ones and most of them will set unrealistic expectations for you, not to mention most of them will take more vacation days and early leaves than 90% of the employees who work here. Getting out of the current building is an absolute nightmare as there is only one exit out and there is no traffic lights so if you get stuck in the employee lot you will more than likely will spend an hour trying to get out. Management even said instead of waiting in the lot you should stay inside and work which makes no sense as we don't get paid for working past normal work hours.

No flex hours

Pros

None none none none none

Cons

The ceo refuses to authorize flex hours despite it taking an hour for employees to leave the parking lot at 5:30. In my opinion Craig Abod does not see employees as human beings with lives and families to go home to. Perhaps he thinks we all have an extra hour to spare in his parking lot not being productive with our lives. I’ve never worked for a company where the boss does not think of their employees. I whole heartedly believe my prior employers would NEVER allow their employees to spend an hour leaving their parking lot and would actually ADVISE upper management to allow their teams to implement flex hours. For a measly &36k a year, I will not take a whole extra hour to commute home.
