Pros

Recognized, growing brand name Nice office location Decent perks and benefits Lots of overtime to pick up cash

Cons

Very high turnover because high stress and high quotas makes it not worth the lower than industry pay to work here Repetitive work with zero career advancement Poor training with ridiculously high quotas Lots of mandatory overtime and often they will tell you that you need to work later right before you clock out for the day Inexperienced and insecure management team who leads by micromanaging & manage by fear Managers are very quick to react and write up employees. You will be written up for everything because the policies are very strict like being 1 minute late or missing your quota by 1. Rules, policies, & workload being changed constantly to treat Austin employees like 2nd class citizens. You could end up with all the complex, lengthy work but your quota remains the same. And since you will not hit your quota, you will be written up. Austin managers are glorified overpaid processors with no authority to manage people since Glendale managers don't want to give up control Glendale managers constantly fly out to Austin with excuse such as training, ‘checking to see how things are’, and even sends non-managers too. They stay in nice places like Aloft or Westin, and dine at 5 star places like Perry's and Uchi. But when Austin employees get a chance to go to LA which is very rare, we stay in 1 star motels with very small food budget and gets scrutinized even when we buy an appetizer for $5.

Competitive benefits, however, changing as with the rest of the market. Decent compensation given your role. Nice office and location. Very intelligent executive and corporate management.

Cons

Given your department - inexperienced and unprofessional functional level management. Verbal threats and harassment. Classic micromanagement. Subpar strategy, analytical, training, coaching and interpersonal skills.

Pros

Casual attire and decent benefits.

Cons

Continuous pressure to perform without any significant financial compensation. Expect $60,000 plus per month in sales with for an extra $2500 in commissions with relentless pressure to perform. Meanwhile you can't give legal advice to those in search of it due to UPL laws. In addition you're paid $13 per hour and have to be available from 7:45am until 9:15pm and certain weekends.
