Pros

None to think of, poor management through to middle management and brown nosed staff

Cons

Everything about the company. It's basically a scam that you try and sell. First 3 months spent a cold calling phone monkey Then you either get in to their elite club or get sacked. Long hours Digital clocks on wall to make sure you aren't a second late for break or lunch Forced lunch times Micro management Bad atmosphere Dread going in to work to see a certain boss there, whether she is still there or not I'm not sure but she knows who she is.

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.
