Don't Listen to the Lies

Pros

Actually none, Glassdoor is making me enter at least 5 words.

Cons

Please don't listen to the flood of good reviews the company has forced employees to write. Between the covered up lawsuits involving racism and sexual harassment, the complete and utter lack of respect they have towards employees and the way we are continued to be treated. They will have you pitching CEO's $40,000 digital engagements that are absolutely dog crap. You must of course lie to get that sale through deception of the product, and lying about who is attending the event and the "open projects" they have. Please don't fall into the trap that you will make over $100,000. A simple google search of the company will show you what clients really think about the work done. Will be leaving the second a new opportunity presents itself.

Pros

Some of the people I met working there are fantastic

Cons

- Leadership that only values the top sellers, they are just fine with the crazy amount of turnover, as long as those junior people are feeding leads to the top sellers. - Unethical business practices (Lying about event attendees to clients) - "Bro" like sales culture, everyone drinks on their lunch breaks - Owner messes with his leadership team, constantly promoting, demoting and changing their titles. No one has a chance to settle in and thrive in their roles. (Just look at some of the leaders LinkedIn pages...) - They incentivize people to write positive reviews on glass door - Tanya is fantastic, but unfortunately the owner really doesn't let her make any real change happen
