      Great place!

      Pros

      great place to first start you career and see where it lands you. Amazing people who will literally bring the best out of you, whether you are ready for that or not. So much drive within the company so that allows you to have the space you need to improve you skills and advance within the company or elsewhere within your life.

      Cons

      Nothing major at the moment. All companies has its cons but its about having a positive perspective and being able to change what is wrong,

      High School Work Life

      Payroll coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very lenient managers, got to watch Netflix at work while working.

      Cons

      They hire anyone and everyone. I felt micromanaged, not by my manager but my colleagues. The environment feels like you're back in high school. A lot of gossip about each other, and a lot of negative energy. You can speak up but no one will listen because they will continue to talk about you. They are all about favorites especially when it comes to trying to get the next position or promotion. I had to fake it until I made it out of there alive. If you like high school and cliques, this place is for you!

      Burlingame Office Only

      Pros

      Built a great friendship with multiple people, other offices are always willing to help out, learned a lot about the business

      Cons

      Where do I start? No work life balance, managers who do not care about your well being, quick to keep dumping work on you when you’re expressing you can’t handle it, managers who do not know what they are doing at all, no trust, expected to work long hours, always have to find your own coverage even when sick, managers who will text you on your days off - honestly wouldn’t recommend working here, Specifically in this office - they preach feedback, but don’t take it well or they don’t fix anything. This company and culture are great is every other office but this one.
