Inconsiderate and unintelligent management

Pros

The only real pros I can say is the downtown location and the small company atmosphere.

Cons

I honestly don't know where to begin on how unpleasant this company is. I’m mostly writing a review to help warn future potential employees of the owners abuse behavior. I wish someone would have warned me about this company before I accepted. It was a nightmare to say the least. This may not be a “typical” glass door review but to give the full effect of how awful this company and the owners are, here are some insights: 
I once read an email where the President of the company said cancer and pregnancy are “hillbilly”. How either of those things can be used in context of “hillbilly” is beyond me. This is probably where his unintelligence for anything other than brokerage sales derives from. You’re on call, 24/7 no matter what position you take there. They feel no remorse or sympathy for your personal time off. They will call you at one in the morning to ask a ridiculous/inadequate question you could have addressed when you got back from time off. They of course do this when they are intoxicated to a level where you can barely make out what they are saying. This goes along with emails you’ll receive on a Sunday afternoon that ask non-relevant questions. If you don’t respond within an hour, you’ll get another one in all caps saying something along the lines of “WHEN I SEND AN EMAIL, I WANT A RESPONSE (add swear words in this)”. This is their attitude and sense of entitlement at all times. I think they genuinely believe that because they had money handed to them by wealthy parents, started a business with it, you work for them, they ultimately own you and all of your time. You’re ill, feel awful and need a day to rest at home, not with this company. Also be expected to come into work even if the weather advisory is a level 3. Their desperation for money could get them into some trouble if an auditor were to take a deep look. I’m sure they have covered their tracks enough to hide the visits to strip clubs, bars, and various other “entertainment” venues off their tax write offs. - Vacation time is the worst out of any company I’ve ever worked for - Administrative pay is lower than average - Cussing, screaming, slamming doors - Complete dysfunction - No Room for growth - HIGH turnover - Boiler-room fear driven sales mentality - Inconsistent standards - No guidance or help

I would encourage to talk to management about any problems they are having.

Pros

High Profile Customer Base Extremely knowledgeable management team with a track record of success Extensive training program (necessary) Every individual who makes it through training, 95%, earns what is compared to a starting salary of an MD Fun environment No signs of slowing down I made enough money in my few years to invest in my future and ultimately start my own company because of the experience that I gained through this company (This is something that the company was aware of and supportive at the same time).

Cons

Fast paced Must have high energy Must always have a positive attitude or you may fall behind Required to work a lot (Pro & Con)
