      A comically bad place to work

      Corporate it
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      > Option to telecommute > A few colleagues were nice > Average compensation That's about it.

      Cons

      > Bullying & badgering by senior IT management > Forced PTO (use or lose it!) > No raises for hard working staff > Treated as a rented mule, not as a person > Toxic work environment > HR turns a blind eye to all this In some scenarios I look back and find it amazing the way Sr. management bullied its staff - also the clicks within the group\backstabbing made things very unpleasant. I just feel sorry for the nice people who I left behind who have no other choice than to continue working here. Moved on, took a while to shake this place from my memories, now working with normal folks - refreshing.

      Not Worth It

      Social media message rater
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work from wherever you want. Entering hours is easy and the employee website is pretty good.

      Cons

      Tedious, boring work "rating" the same ads over and over again. Unless you seriously drag the work out, you will not reach even close to 5-7 hours per week so paychecks are super low and not really worth the effort of remembering to rate each day. Also, you need to be OK with your personal data being tracked and stored, including all of your social media use... even once you quit or are let go. I was let go for not meeting the required 5 rating days (which is easier to do than you'd think, which is why they constantly send email reminders). It's now a month later and I am still receiving regular emails from the company about my ratings, holiday greetings, etc. AND the ad rater tool is still on my phone (which means they are still tracking my personal data/social media use). I have requested that this stop several times and it hasn't.
