Pros

Besides the free food/snacks, and the art hanging around, absolutely nothing

Cons

- Terribly managed. Management doesn't really know what they are doing or how to run a company effectively, and rely on fear tactics to keep employees in place. Clueless, but somehow with a superiority complex are words that come to mind to describe them. - They also love to misrepresent the type of positions they hire for: EX: they have posts for Analyst positions, Markets Specialists positions, Jr Trader positions, Account Management Coordinator. THEY ALL MEAN THE SAME= SALES REP!! -Salaries are on the low end of the "competitive" side, but they sell you hard on the commission. Now said commission is not given to you until after 6 months, which is reasonable, but means that until your second year there you won't be making more than 35,000yearly. They claim they have "stats" about the average salary for "Marketing Specialists" (or Sales Rep more accurately), that show much higher avg salaries, but those are lies. How do I know? Because nobody there really lasts more than a year. - Revolving door of a company: they hire and fire so many people that I am surprised they've managed to maintain a level of operation that was sustainable. - CEO: it's like having a bomb with an invisible fuse in the room. You never know when it'll explode, or what'll tick it off, but it will most certainly happen and you better not be in the crosshairs.

Pros

-POW mindset amongst employees creates good bonds and lasting friendships. -Daily phone calls from telemarketers asking for CEOs father who started the company. CEO loves when you ask questions regarding the foundings of the company and his family. Ask why the company is named "Parchem". Do it, you will get a promotion. -You will get a vast knowledge of homophobic and racial slurs due to CEOs constant use -CEO is a terrific writer and actor. His ability to impersonate old employees and write delusional fake glassdoor reviews is second to none. "Very smart" -Sabrina. Seriously, this might be the only real pro.

Cons

-Daily beratings, batterings, constant micromanaging, hostile work environment. You must be as hardened as the CEOs nipples to last more than 6 months. -100% chance of being sued by CEO when pursuing new opportunities for personal career growth. Thou shalt never leave Parchem -You will never get paid your commission on time, if you get paid at all -24/7 surveillance while in the office. Cameras on employees at all times and CEO has constant ability to watch the office. Not to be confused with "The Office", American Television series starring Steve Carell. -Ugly artwork all over the office in sad attempt to make you not want to look away from your computer screen.
