A Toxic Cesspool of Lies, Fear, and Irreversible Damage - Stay Away! - AdOps Associate Quantcast Employee Review

I was hesitant to write a review on this company, as the fear it made me feel every day truly followed me for years. I reported to a mentally unstable woman with a brain injury, which wouldn't have been a problem had she not lied to our overall managers and HR about the most insane things to keep the focus off the fact she was useless while making the rest of us work 15-hour days. She blew through employees like they were dandelion seeds. However, shortly after I left, I heard that her house of cards came tumbling down (not to mention she was married to three different guys across two years, claiming she was abused and would talk about her personal life as if any of us cared about her pathological lying). Completely unprofessional and uncomfortable. The Sales team was a revolving door of panicked, verbally-abused, blinded-by-lies folks who wanted to advance their careers but ended up blemishing their resumés with a blip because nothing they did could keep them off a PIP and ultimate boot. There was a definite "in-crowd" of old-timers that kept their heads down and their mouths shut, and after a few months it became clear why . . . pay was just decent enough to stay through the abuse and advancement became inevitable given the steady rate of attrition. The office environment felt like a mortuary. You could hear a pin drop, the somberness of everyone was palpable, and you were expected to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at your desk or you were given dirty looks by either people who were just as miserable as you, or were trying to have ammunition in their back pocket to keep the light off of themselves. Typical work hours were 8 am-6 pm and even then, the first person to leave either snuck out pretending to go use the restroom so as to not be seen as "that person", or used a doctor's appointment as an excuse to leave at a normal time. I would be remiss to say I don't still have nightmares every once in a while about this company. I wake up in a cold sweat, out of breath, and thankful that it was a nightmare and that I never have to step foot in there again.
