Terrible Model, Curious of the Legalitity

Pros

Literally nothing good to say.

Cons

Payments don't make sense. When I first started with this company I was able to make a really good hourly wage. After a few months they sent out an email asking stylists to commit to 20+ hours a week. I left my full time job to commit to this because of the flexibility and the good money! Within a month pods were completely empty and there was no work to do. I could sit in a pod for an hour and only work with one client. More recently their pay model makes it nearly impossible to earn even minimum wage. If you do a "good job" you are supposedly rewarded, but there is no real feedback to help you improve or achieve the standards they have set. It is impossible to talk to anyone to learn more about the job. This is a class action lawsuit just WAITING to happen.

Pros

Pays really well Free food Looks good on resume

Cons

Google wants 60-hour weeks. If you have a 150 IQ, Google is okay with 50-hour weeks, otherwise, 60-hour weeks are required to keep your job. Work is mind-numbingly boring, e.g. sustaining software written 10-20 years ago, mostly. Culture is declining QUICKLY Too many people are competing for your job so Google has CS PhDs doing plumbing work.

Pros

Good technology company with plenty of opportunities to learn

Cons

Loses all credibility due to intentionally altering search result in favor of political views rather than actual factual results.
