Pros

Nice building with friendly building management.

Cons

I deeply regret accepting a job at Thru. Lee Harrison, CEO, promotes completely inept, unqualified employees and gives them VP titles based on personal relationships and family friendships rather than actual skills, people management experience, or know-how. Aforementioned unqualified "managers" provide zero feedback, guidance, or timely, constructive comments about progress on projects or work performance. Instead, you receive completely useless and flagrantly snarky, unprofessional instructions and comments. The company is disorganized, with no clear vision or objectives regarding the product roadmap or direction of marketing collateral. Top-down communication is appalling, which is surprising, considering the entire company amounts to fewer than 15 full time employees, most of them all in the same tiny office where joy and happiness go to die. I can’t imagine that they are hiring new employees due to the utter lack of growth, sales, or competitive edge, but consider yourselves warned. Accepting a job at Thru is like boarding the Titanic.

Really we are still here and you are not. While no one is perfect at hiring no one that judges so harshly could have a clue about how it works at any job. Sorry it didn't work and you didn't mess with the terrific not perfect staff.

Pros

There are slim to none.

Cons

The company does not seem to be doing well on many levels. They seem to have few clients and they bring nothing new to the table compared to their competitors. Employees there complain and are disgruntled. Management has no time to address their issues. They favor employees based on work that is required for the company to operate. Management is also very young and extremely inexperienced not only about the industry but also managing employees. They are in way over their heads. Any qualified employee there is put in their place. There is little leadership or guidance in work. Tasks change on the fly and there is no set job description. The job description is nothing like the work you will do, since they require you to "be flexible" and you may end up making nothing but PowerPoint slides even with a graduate degree. They will entice you with growth and opportunity and if they don't like you, they will not hesitate to cut you. You will have wasted time doing and learning nothing.
