Terrible place for honest people

Pros

Honestly the only good thing about working at Quinstreet is the individuals that you work with. All the worker bees are very nice, hard working, and honest people. Can't say as much for the executives at all.

Cons

Very micromanaged organization, even down to the time allowed to use the restroom! Not an honest business either, Google the lawsuit the Veteran's Admin brought against them and look at their financial statements since they are a publicly traded company to see how they "earn" their money. Not a good place for honest people to work.

Only take the job as a last resort and keep looking even if you are hired.

Low level management - too many "titles" to list

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Very little to speak of other than the liberal PTO schedule after 3 years of employment.

Cons

Horrible pay. Expectations of the employees are not nearly commensurate with the salaries. Upper management attempts to bribe their employees with worthless stock options (just check the historical track record) while selling their own options as soon as they vest (can be confirmed on any financial site). Management promotes and shelters their favorites even though they are inept in their roles. They also squash any constructive criticism and dissension. Management goes out of their way to advertise their "company values" (printed wall placards everywhere you turn) yet they are merely window dressing and not upheld or committed to.

Pros

It depends on your direct manager how it will work out for you.

Cons

Because it depends on your direct manager how it will work out for you, it can be chaotic and political.
