Good company, but kiosks are miserable, you like like the homeless people of the mall.

Pros

You get to use the software for free for as long as you want while you're working. The discounts on the software are really good I think it was 50%.

Cons

They mostly are all kiosks and you always work by yourself. Working at a kiosk sucks because everyone treats you like you're a mall directory and people have no sense of this being your space.

Pros

-Great teams of young people to work with; overall upbeat and exciting work atmosphere -You get to learn languages for free (on your own time) -Decent benefits -You’re working with the top language product—you don’t have to worry about competition at this point in the game

Cons

-“Performance reviews” are a joke—managers’ time is spread so thin over their 30+ employees that they have no idea what each individual is actually putting out -Social atmosphere of the company is intense—be ready to spend all your daylight hours working there, whether you’re in finance, sales, marketing, etc., if you want to maintain your job -Sales technique is based on a single methodology that you are required to spend a lot of your personal time mastering, but managers themselves are not well-versed in that which they stringently require -HR is almost nonexistent, slow to respond to any inquiries, and is not employee-friendly—they, like the rest of Rosetta Stone, are not ready for the rapid growth they’ve just had

This company went from great to an absolute nightmare.

Pros

back in 2004/2005, one could still make a living at that place, before they started raising quotas. I guess you could learn a language somewhat, when not interrupted by idle mall people in search of the world's cheapest pretzel.

Cons

Horrible, clueless senior and mid-level management. Undercut kiosk associates at every level, taking away sales. Tons of useless reports and paperwork. Too cheap to put locks on kiosks to prevent theft; instead, made associates do 3 inventories a day. Corporate trainers who have not spent a day in a mall environment and live in a fantasy world.
