Very unorganized

Pros

You meet great people, you can go to work in sweatpants ! Was a great location downtown

Cons

Management has no idea what they are doing ... Very hard to track them down during the day (somehow they all disappear for most of the day) ! ...Not very good pay for the amount of work... Popularity contest instead of actual work productivity ... Each department passes a problem on to the next ... No one takes action or responsibility ... A lot of problems are just swept under the rug and not resolved.

Pros

- Good Logo for your CV, if you can get 6 months under your belt - Potentially a great first job to toughen up career Salespeople and Graduates - Good to have a negative experience at least once to strengthen your ability, prove you can work hard and tolerate adverse conditions

Cons

- Poor internal structure favouring founding members - Hyper-competitive sales floor leading to mega-high staff turnover - Unstable commission which are often non-existent, especially in the first 3-6 months - Lottery atmosphere with no control over pipeline or commissions - Cliquey atmosphere making it very difficult to socialise and integrate, especially in early months - Selling into SME's and one man bands many of whom don't care about your sales pitch or product and struggle to understand any perceived benefits of this frankly ground-breaking opportunity - My confidence dropped having worked here and made to feel valueless after being the top performer in previous role

Pros

No dress code. Location. Adulation from people that don't know better.

Cons

Micro Management. Not treated as an adult. No home work life balance. No vacation policy which has translated into Managers not giving or 'allowing' time to be taken. No upward mobility. Compensation is not comparable for location. Management is il trained with little experience and little professionalism. Management has poor time management which results in the employees scrambling. If you come to work here you will be 'sold a bridge' as they say. Do not take the salary cut for the opportunity, IT IS NOT WORTH IT!
