Pros

Great training. That's really it . So if you're looking to learn the industry this is a great stepping stone company

Cons

Toxic leadership- not everywhere but definitely from the Sr leadership, c level Mandatory overtime Non competitive wages Poor commission structures When I joined the company. I was welcomed with open arms which was nice. Worked hard, was treated fairly. After a year and a half . I decided that remote work was more important as well as wage increases. I have a couple kids and I wasn't getting paid well enough to afford daycare which prompted me to ask to remain remote when my kids were living with me, we were remote during most of the pandemic. When I asked to have a discussion for a raise via email. I was told that i would be closer to getting fired because i kindly let them know what i was looking for.. And the company wouldn't facilitate remote work stating " we will never be a remote company" We had company meetings about people getting fired and why. Using these human beings as examples to say " see what happens when..." Upon finding new remote and better paying role . I out in my 2 weeks and was met with unusual toxic passive aggressive behavior from Sr. Leadership. Making passive comment like people who leave this company never make it, or people who have used this company as a stepping stone will never be welcomed back. After keeping contact with some peers from the company they have relayed the same behavior when putting in their notices. I haven't worked there for over a year

Pros

None. It is obvious that all positive reviews are wrote by management

Cons

This is a bad org to work for. The base compensation BAD and the commission structure is exceptionally poor (5%-10%) with earnings not starting until the 8th or 9th deal. (THIS IS A HUGE RED FLAG, unheard of in the industry). This means Partners are making 100% of your deals until your ninth placement, and even at the Senior level, they still make 90% of your deal. At the agency I am at now, my commission is above 30% and started immediately. basically only hire entry-level people, enforce extreme micromanagement, including multiple daily meetings with your managers, and exhibit an unclear and wishy-washy growth trajectory. I once billed around $500k with this organization in a year and only took home $75k. When I told this to a well-respected recruiter for recruiters, she said at any other agency, I easily would have cleared $200k take-home. There is Nonexistent Work-Life Balance and Poor HR Policies. SEP offers little to no flexibility, and PTO starts at ZERO. It requires PTO to be accrued very slowly, and management forces employees to justify and explain their personal reasons for taking time off. I have had to tell my managers why EXACTLY I needed a day off, which is illegal to ask for. You must also be prepared to be contacted throughout the day if you do take a day off. Even when I was working there, EVERYONE was plotting their escape. My biggest regret in my professional life was accepting a job here, lost so much money.
