Pros

The other employees were really the best reason to be there. The company did invest a lot of time - and unnecessary money - in company functions like BBQ's and flag football and things along those lines which could be fun.

Cons

They lie in their advertisements about how much money you make. There may be "potential" to make that much but I don't know a single solitary person who makes as much as is listed in the job postings. This is across the board - not just for copywriters. They constantly restructure pay scales in the companies favor and take away from the employees. Money is invested in things the company doesn't need, like drones to record the flag football games. That's really not necessary. Almost all meetings address the fact that communication needs to be streamlined yet it never is. People are encouraged to speak out about issues they have concerns about yet risk being fired for doing so. Favoritism runs rampant. The company likes to hire young 20somethings who are attractive and let go of those who don't fit that image. If you stay within the company and aren't early to mid 20's and aren't super attractive then you must be really good at your job otherwise there's no benefit to keeping you in the company. They also have people, while on the clock at work, log into this website, and post positive reviews about the company. I should know because I was one of those people who was ordered to do it by my manager.

Pros

Very nice people worked there and the atmosphere was fairly relaxed. The location was not too far from downtown so that was nice.

Cons

Job was a scam right from the get go. My first day on the phones I was racking up the hits, then the next day and beyond, it was struggle to hit 5. You spend all day on the phone and no calls come in. The jobs that were used to entice people to call in were a joke. Picker packer? Please.

What a fraud!

Pros

If you're happy being "enticed" with a bunch of "fluff" then you'll love it here. If you're not too bright and are happy just reading the same script over and over again, you'll love it here.

Cons

This company has some bright I.T. techs working there, but other than that, what a joke! Several departments, and all the works is complete crap. Reading a script over and over with one common goal ... to get the person on the phone to waste their money paying tuition to some third rate "for profit" school. It's a horrible place to be. It's depressing, and beyond boring. There is no challenge, you won't learn any real skills that you can take to a "real" company. Check into the history on the CEO. Has several aliases. Watch out! Stay far far away from this place. Long hours every week are mandatory!
