Pros

Perks like free snacks. Coffee. Nice office. Generally very little micromanaging. Good benefits, generous base salary especially for the industry.

Cons

The environment is not how it was sold during the interview. It feels somewhat cutthroat and I can’t speak for other employees but I feel that I cannot express my true opinions to management without getting negative reactions. An environment built on fear isn’t one that will keep your employees happy. I understand recruiting has its ups and downs but the environment needs to be more collaborative, less gossipy, more open. Most people are nice on the surface but seem to be hiding their true feelings underneath. I also have heard that the NYC office is completely disconnected from every other office, the commission structures aren’t even the same, little to no communication between offices. That does not seem like a business model that will last.

A pleasant place to work

Pros

I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with this company. Everyone is super nice, very easy to talk to and I never feel overwhelmed. When I have an issue with something I am able to go speak freely with upper management about my issue and it gets resolved. In an office of about 60 people it’s very upbeat, pleasant and professional. It’s not that often that you get to have that type of experience in an office this size.

Cons

There are a few individuals who are disgruntled and negative perhaps because of personal issues. I’m sure that’s something every office has to deal with.

Pros

they pay pretty well. if you're good - you'll make tons of money

Cons

they don't hire many non white people - they have def hired based on looks and not brains they treat people differently based on relationships and its very blatant discrimination they have no vision and everything changes they dont respect their workers - a few free snacks a week wont make up for that they are bleeding people - everyone is quitting they only do things in response to people complaining instead of being proactive
