Pros

Met some fun people there

Cons

This company is extremely problematic. Very low pay, little opportunity for growth. Treatment toward employees has been sexist, racist, and based on favoritism. Other employees (including sales management) treat women inappropriately. When taking pto I would be interrogated about what I was doing/why I needed time off. Everyone is paid on commission “because sales is” (???) Not a practical way to pay any departments outside of sales. The “fun” pro’s you hear about during interview process are usually solely for the sales team - i.e. pool table, ping pong, pop-a-shot were seemingly off limits to non-sales teams. Also the big semiannual events are very problematic for the following reasons: I hate to have to say this but I would not advise any women go to these events unless they want to be hit on by coked-out sales guys. Employees are shamed if they can’t make it to the event. The event is just to praise the sales team and executives. The amount of money spent on event is absurd considering most of the employees are paid under 40k. Don’t listen to the filler reviews - They are likely added as fillers by someone in management to bring up the average rating

Pros

-Beautiful work environment -Fast-paced, social culture -Good benefits

Cons

-Cold-calling -There seems to be a lot of illegal drug use -Sexual harassment seems rampant -Not much diversity -In my opinion, HR is pretty much non-existent -Very little communication when COVID hit, except to fire us -A lot of flash and bang, but not much substance to the product -Seems there is no intention of progressing the product past 1999. It's on-hold music. -Seems there isn't much room to share ideas to better the company

Pros

3 weeks of training in the UK. Can make good money.

Cons

They have this ultra high-end culture, where you wear a 3 piece suit to sell "On-Hold Music" which they refer to as "Audio Branding". You are sent out on "qualified" appointments, and you don't get your next days schedule until 6pm at night, for the next day. Only to find out you have 3-4 appointments that are all 1.5 hours away from each other. If you do not close these "solid" appointments to sell hold music for $300 a month, you will get called out by management after each appointment. Even a No-Show appointment counts against your close ratio... I don't know what else to say.
