Pros

-work remote most days -people at the office are nice -work is very simple, someone in 10th grade could easily do it -Office is diverse and there is some food -flexible daily lunch hour

Cons

-extremely repetitive- you are essentially selling guidepoint to strangers trying to get them on a call, with hundreds of people its just that over and over -Pay is pretty set- small bonuses + sign on bonus is heavily taxed (know that if you end before a year you have to pay it back in full- not taxed version) -Everything is based on numbers- if you do not meet those numbers then you are fired -high turnover -work is never over, people sometimes work weekend (and praised for it) and even if projects are finished you are expected to still sit around until 5:15 roles around -let some people work remote and others not

Pros

- Good work life balance at the associate level, but see cons. - Work with young, intelligent, and driven coworkers

Cons

- Poor work-life balance once you become more client-facing. I found myself consistently online from around 8 am to whenever my email stopped churning (could sometimes be around midnight). When we were in the office I quite literally felt chained to my desk from 8:45 to 5:45, it was uncommon for people to take actual lunch breaks away from their desk. - Limited room for growth past the PM level. There's really no chance to develop new skills once you've taken ownership of an account. The only thing they really want to focus on is having you squeeze as much revenue out of your given account. -Repetitive. After a while at the job, it can boil down to a pretty simple formula where you don't necessarily feel mentally stimulated. This paired with little room to grow new skills/career development can make it feel like a ticking time bomb in terms of your ability to land a new role afterward.

Miserable Experience

Pros

The clients you work with are smart, and there are genuinely talented people that work there.

Cons

There are no discernible perks or career development opportunities. Extreme micromanagement and no growth mindset to be found. The pay is not competitive or worth it for how much you will be expected to work. Lackluster office, disorganized management, and insufficient training. The attrition rate is terrible and nothing is done to address this. The work is overwhelmingly mundane and unfulfilling, and most of the people eat lunch at their desks. Not a healthy long term job. Upper management views employees as robots/ numbers, not complex people who have the ability to contribute to and improve the company culture.
