Pros

Entry Level, Starting Pay is decent

Cons

They hire their friends and family. Promote their friends and family. You can’t move up the ladder unless you’re friends or family.

Pros

I at least get 40 hours a week and bring home a paycheck

Cons

Unorganized and unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to work here. They can't get the paychecks right. Takes forever to get paid what is owed. They don't do the taxes right. The list goes on and on

Pros

High pay and some decent people sprinkled in. Good exposure to the industry and high profile customers

Cons

Zero work life balance; leaders that pretend to care but really only care about themselves; fear based culture; pride themselves on only hiring “good looking individuals”; good ol’ boys club mentality prompting clicks to form; HR only cares about the bottom line, protecting front line staff (smoke in mirrors to clients) and senior leaders, never mind middle management. HR claims to take all allegations seriously however the nepotism within the organization inhibits this deeply; no emphasis is placed on mentoring people into promotions thought they claim to have a management in training program which is a short term program that once completed is thrown to the way side and “sink or swim” clicks in. The training program is not even updated to current practices because the processes and leaders change so frequently that departments cannot keep up; some departments have had an upside of 20 different department leads over the past 2 years; Promotions are earned based on getting in good with the “club”, good looks, and whether or not you fit in, not your ability to do the job effectively. When you fail (which really could be just one ball dropped) they’ll throw you to the wolves and tell the CEO you just weren’t the right fit. The CEO makes unreasonable demands, causing 30 people to jump through a hundred hoops (it’s his business so why not?) only to turn around and call you an idiot later for not doing it right; SLT never follows through on their commitments and just blames the CEO for everything; the positive reviews you see on this page are asked for by SLT, they aren’t real. They tell the middle management team they’ll pay out operational bonuses, Don’t follow through, don’t communicate why or when the program is getting pulled and then leave the leaders in terrible positions to tel Katherine teams the bad news. Everything here is smoke in mirrors and really just a polished turd.
