TransPerfect reviews

Cheap, badly managed, with terrible culture

-TransPerfect blocks Glassdoor on company computers. -Rule by fear, mental abuse and intense micro management. The inner circle generally hides behind cynical emails. You need to tune it out to function normally at work. -NY TPT sales management considers yelling, attitude, snide remarks, huffing, talking negatively about others, and "problem child" lists acceptable ways to treat employees. Senior sales management from other offices should also be feared. -Management dangles the carrot in front of hungry reps to sell them on the pipe dream of endless income. Most work thanklessly around the clock for years, but leave because they get burned out. The results of their hard labor are gifted to those who stay around long enough. -Fake false sense of urgency from management due to poor planning or random immediate requests. -Always a quid pro quo mentality. -Posh facades, aviator sunglasses, and being openly hung over at meetings gets more traction with management than solid business acumen. -I only heard from my manager when they wanted something or had a problem. If you don't suck up to fit in, you're just a number to them. -The sales team has a revolving door. The rich get richer by churning through those in their pyramid who build and manage business for them for a meager salary. -Many sales managers are too busy to give meaningful guidance, oversight, or show they care. Immediate results are expected and barely recognized. -On top of 24/7 end-to-end sales/account management, making contact lists, printing 1,500 mailer letters, and manually stuffing 1,500 envelopes is slave labor; not something nearly everyone in sales is required to do weekly. -Management wants you to respond instantly to clients at any hour, which builds unsustainable and unnecessary expectations. No emphasis on a healthy work-life balance; just live for and die for the Client. -You only get paid commission after your client pays their bill. If clients pay late, you lose commission. As more time passes, you lose a lot more. If you don't make mandatory markup requirements, you also lose commission. Highway robbery. -Way too much email volume because you're forced to be on irrelevant global distribution lists. -Cockroaches and fruit flies repeatedly found on the sales floor.
