Pros

They work with a variety of clients.

Cons

I want to start off by letting any prospective employee know that I have been asked 3 times to write a positive review for this company on this site by my manager, but I will not lie for them on here. The 'great opportunity for growth' reviews are written by their marketing team. I would not even call this company, a 'company' it is a scam and they are about two steps away from getting sued by a labor lawyer for their business practices. Think you will ever be able to take a holiday? Forget it if you take this job. They give minimal holidays off, meaning Christmas Day (no Jewish holidays), Thanksgiving, New Years Day, and Fourth of July Day. All other holidays or days before or after the holiday you have to work. You are even expected to be by a computer on holidays to handle any last minute requests that come in. Its a 'work hard, play hard' environment. This means you will be expected to work from 8 AM to 9 PM every night. Also, they sell 24/7 coverage to their clients, but guess who will covering 24/7? YOU. If you tell them you couldn't sign online, they take you into a conference room and scream at you. They give you an unrealistic workload and never pay on any of the commission or bonuses they promise you. I never received one bonus that was promised to me in my interview and they screwed me out of commission on almost every job. The upper management team are all liars and criminals.

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
