Pros

The benefits and cash profit sharing

Cons

I wish I never took this job, there are so many folks who wrote long intense reviews, and I’m realizing now it’s to try and help people to not get jobs here. Trust the reviews, I know sometimes at other places it can be wrong, but trust me on this one. If you have an interview, we had to record the call for “training purposes” and let me tell you, it’s not. It’s too go back and for one rip apart the employee on ways they need to improve our call, but it’s mostly to go back and see if the person should actually be hired. Yes, after final round interview, they will go back and listen to your first call with a recruiter. Since joining, I can’t not warn you enough, the office culture is strange, nobody really talks, everyone whispers, and is hyper stressed. They preach about work life balance, but those who preach about it started at the company post college and have no idea what working at other companies is like. They are all brain washed. For example, they will say the work life balance is great, but work a 12 hour day. Everyone is online at 7am, and still online at 7pm or later. The managers say they want to be “close to the work” and they will again, rip everything you do apart, it’s already started bleeding into my personal life, I’m so miserable everyday at work trying not be criticized for an email I wrote. Yes you read That correctly. You also must be in the office for 9 hours a day, one time I left just a few minutes before my 9 hours, and I got in trouble the next day. They are always watching. These people are miserable
