Pros

- Rachel and Sapphire the office managers work to create such a great environment including free food, massages, extra curricular activities and many more events! Nice central location.

Cons

- Cult like. - Sexual harassment is so prevalent yet gets ignored (including from sales managers), I was inappropriately touched and had comments made throughout my time. No action was taken. - Male dominated environment and they really do not care for women’s right (including your health) - Favouritism is huge! They pick out people based on how much they suck up and then help them do well. - Bullying from managers, they talk behind everyone’s back and think staff do not know. Then you are too scared to tell them anything as they will gossip about it. - Drinking culture. - No work progression, they work you like a dog and never actually give you a promotion (seen it happen so many times) - Unrealistic targets. - Watched good sales people suddenly get let go after one bad month. - Managers will give away your leads for no reason so you lose money (they “own” your leads) - They do not tell you what is going on or give you updates on what’s happening behind the scenes (they don’t know what’s going on themselves)

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
