Pros

The other employees were really the best reason to be there. The company did invest a lot of time - and unnecessary money - in company functions like BBQ's and flag football and things along those lines which could be fun.

Cons

They lie in their advertisements about how much money you make. There may be "potential" to make that much but I don't know a single solitary person who makes as much as is listed in the job postings. This is across the board - not just for copywriters. They constantly restructure pay scales in the companies favor and take away from the employees. Money is invested in things the company doesn't need, like drones to record the flag football games. That's really not necessary. Almost all meetings address the fact that communication needs to be streamlined yet it never is. People are encouraged to speak out about issues they have concerns about yet risk being fired for doing so. Favoritism runs rampant. The company likes to hire young 20somethings who are attractive and let go of those who don't fit that image. If you stay within the company and aren't early to mid 20's and aren't super attractive then you must be really good at your job otherwise there's no benefit to keeping you in the company. They also have people, while on the clock at work, log into this website, and post positive reviews about the company. I should know because I was one of those people who was ordered to do it by my manager.

Pros

I am proud to be apart of a great innovative, dynamic, and diverse company like Softrock. Softrock has created an amazing atmosphere for all employees during the hiring and training process. All the departments from Human Resources, Media, IT, Marketing, and Management work effectively together to create a fun and professional environment where everyone can feel comfortable, happy, and welcome. Softrock is one of the very few companies known to provide exciting events such as holiday parties, cookouts, and sports so that way everyone can come together to interact and have fun. With the positive feedback and support from Managers, Softrock has managed to grow successfully as a company since 2005 by giving everyone that comes on board an opportunity to grow and achieve a fun exciting long-term career. And last but not least, one of the best things that makes Softrock so unique and a great company compared to other companies is our CEO Alec Difrawi. Not only is Alec recognized for his hard work and dedication managing the company as a whole but also takes the time to get to know everyone individually in every department as much as possible and is aware of everyone's success. In conclusion, this is why I am proud to be working for Softrock.

Cons

One of the things that I least like about Softrock is the long exhausting four step process to get hired and the exhausting , stressfull 12 hour shift for two weeks training only.
