The targets are unrealistic and largely luck-based. You're expected to work unpaid overtime every day, which doesn’t guarantee better performance.
You constantly work under pressure, and if you don't meet and exceed targets, you're fired. It's a work environment characterized by fear and insecurity - employees are motivated through insults, threats, and micromanagement.
Project managers are very inexperienced; most have been with the company for 3-5 years and have never worked anywhere else. They can be mean, cross boundaries, and be downright abusive.
Associates are pitted against each other; there's a culture of antagonism and competition, strong favoritism, and cliques. The job is simultaneously incredibly monotonous and boring but also extremely stressful.
There are no skills to be acquired besides LinkedIn Recruiter. You literally send links on LinkedIn to people all day with zero career development opportunities. All day, you copy and paste stuff and “chase” people on the phone to get them to agree to register with the network, which I personally found emotionally draining. It's essentially a call center/telemarketing job.
Guidepoint engages in deliberate “burn and churn” practices and doesn't care about its reputation. Please do yourself the favor and stay away from this company.
