Pros

No pros at this company unless you are one of the first Directors of Business developments that stuck around, if you are one, then now your job is to manipulate, abuse, and work green college graduates while they make no money and you come in at 10

Cons

Upper Management is a joke. They mentally abuse all employees Popularity contest in major offices with toxic working environments in most. Worst offenders are New York, DC, and Atlanta Future leaders not determined by merit/achievement instead by amount of happy hours attended No repercussions for non-performance/low sales numbers because if you go to enough HH and stay out late enough at conferences, you will get promoted Culture in New York Office

Pros

The hire a lot of cool people, who tend to leave quickly

Cons

Awful culture, like joining a cult where they tell you the path to success (and therefore your worth as a person) is to stuff envelopes and live in the office. No development, no progression.

Pros

Educated, ambitious and highly competent young coworkers; Work with linguists around the world; Learn corporate office etiquette; Acquire high tolerance for stress; Hiring during recession.

Cons

Extremely high turnover; Excessive workload; Long hours, no compensation for overtime; Culture of intimidation and fear; Project management requires no language skills- this is task management at best; Bare minimum of holidays given; Archaic system from Microsoft Outlook to Excel sheets; Niche industry, skill set is extremely specific to the company, does not translate (pun intended) to marketable skills in other industries; Poor infrastructure: they promote from within, which means middle and upper management have no formal training in management and do not have the soft skills required to successfully manage teams of people.
