- extremely underpaid for the workload that is expected of you, including working late evenings and weekends for snacks or pizza in return.
- goals and bonuses were often impossible to reach
- when employees were unhappy they would very often get talked into quitting instead of management trying to help or be supportive to their employees in any way.
- college clique-esque office politics (including drunken, inappropriate conversations in Lingo after hours)
- manipulative management
- lots of talk about internal promotions but most "promotions" are lateral and come with more responsibility and little to no pay raise.
- when the pandemic hit people were coming straight to the office from traveling abroad and we were getting very confusing messaging from the higher-ups urging us to continue to work from the office when many of us felt unsafe and were completely capable of working from home.
- The office is not a perk; it's hard to get to, you have to pay for parking (even the parking that EF built for employees, coffee and food at lingo is expensive and there was rarely a private spot to have a private phone call or to eat lunch alone.
