      AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Terrible job.

      Client service associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Smart, young, competent employees - Interesting exposure to many industries -Great 401K match (10%) - Growing industry (doing well because of Covid)

      Cons

      -Overworked (told I am not allowed to take a lunch, told I am not allowed to log off on time at the end of the day, work 8:30-7:30 most days). Associates are constantly stretched thin and burnt out. Hard to work so much for only 55K. - Client Service Associate= LinkedIn recruiter. You spend all day surfing LinkedIn and messaging people. You send thousands of messages a week. - Everyone thinks Guidepoint is a scam. I spent a lot of time conviving people Guidepoint is legitimate. Also, Guidepoint is very secretive, we are told to keep project intentions secret. - No overtime compensation and there is a very minimal reward for completing projects/ recruiting leads. The bonus is a bracket system, it is very minimal and no incentive to go beyond. -Company seems to prey on recent graduates from XYZ schools that were involved in sports, greek life, etc., and convince them this company is great. A lot of times this company is sold as a "consulting" career, in reality, you are just a LinkedIn bot. -High turnover rate- there is a reason everyone leaves after 0-2 years... -No prospect of growth, being a Research Manager or Project Manager is barely an upgrade. There is little monetary gain for these positions and you essentially do the same job. -They rank all the associates every week in an email that gets sent to everyone, this seems to be a very questionable practice. -Very high stress, everyone is on edge and everything needs to be done instantaneously.

      Thankless. Stressful. Unhealthy.

      Research analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      close to grand central. odd comradery between employees because everyone is equally miserable. friendly and intelligent colleagues.

      Cons

      Guidepoint is a thankless, stressful and unhealthy environment to work in. The Research Analyst/Project Manager/whatever-management-has-spent-too-much-time-and-resources-on-deciding-what-to-call-it-this-week position sounds appealing but it's the job of HR to write ads that seem that way when in reality it is not at all. The lack of structure, management and support in this company is simply astonishing. low base salary. no chance for career development. long hours both in and out of the office (i-banking hours for a McDonald's job). a sales team that provides no support once an account is secured/doesn't even understand what it is that the company actually does (shouldn't they know what it is that they're selling?). strong emphasis on face-time. no flexibility to work remotely for any reason.
