Pros

fun, young, interesting coworkers, convenient locations

Cons

the hiring model revolves around recruiting and exploiting recent college grads. new employees are overwhelmed with an impossible amount of work and horrible pay with the assumption that these young professionals don't know any better and won't stick up for themselves. turnover rate is extremely high - no one i met there was happy or planning to stay. absolutely terrible work life balance. i cannot stress this enough, if you are a recent college grad thinking about working for TP, know that they are only planning to hire you so they can run you into the ground with grunt work for as long as you can take it while giving you the lowest pay possible so that you aren't eligible for overtime. i'm warning you from personal experience to hold out for another job because this is not worth it.

Pros

Young, aimless college graduates that you can commisserate and grow with

Cons

Awful, awful. Basically a factory. Sales given all the glory, production treated like absolute crap. Moronic middle management. Only there since they are the ones who stayed.

Pros

Many offices around the globe

Cons

STAY AWAY!!! Poor management, lack of professionalism, no training, poor compensation, long hours, lack of regard for employee health or well being. This company is the most dysfunctional place i have ever worked. The company is owned by 2 individuals who cannot get along. I personally have witnessed several fights and these events have led to ongoing litigation's. There is no training provided to employees and they invest NOTHING in furthering anyone's knowledge or career. There is a tremendous amount of title inflation, the majority of "director's within the company are 24-28 year old college grad with nothing more that a BA degree and 2-4 years work experience. During the hiring process you are promised bonuses and promotions which you will likely never see. Salaries are very low, only those who befriend the right people or joined the company very early on are the ones that make ridiculous amounts of commission from all the work everyone else does. The work life balance is terrible. You are expected to ALWAYS be online and work day and night. I have had coworkers get sick from the long hours and stressful environment. Company doesn't provide any official sick days so you have to used your hard earned vacation time to recuperate from the hell they put you through.
