Don't hire more people than you can afford to keep. Improve training. Half of us struggled becuase we would get conflicting information from our trainers and them repremanded for being confused.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

The pay is low, benefits expensive and vacation/sick accrual is a joke.

Employees are hired on under certain titles and compensation plans that seem to change month to month and never for the better. Horrible leadership and no value of employee. Coworkers have been let go for no reasons at all.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

My team is really close. We have weekly video meetings where we discuss work but also just chat and play games. Everyone works equally hard and we try to help each other. Our team leader keeps things fresh and addresses any problem quickly.

Review from Marketing Dept

My team is amazing, we are filled with a group of people that want to work towards the same goal while having a good time. Our Marketing Director always finds ways to keep work interesting and fun!

Review from Marketing Dept

My team is more like a family than anything, I feel so lucky to have them.

Depending on the economy, work can get hectic but the executive team and management always acknowledge the external factors and offer help, overtime pay, encouragement and fun events to keep things positive.

The most positive thing is the inclusion and fun that we have. Even though we all work very hard we are treated great and have a very good time at work.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

The managers micro-manage and constantly point fingers.

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

They're looking at your overall skills, energetic attitude, and history rather than administering long tests, panel interviews or obstacle course-like challenges that are stressful and not really relevant like some other companies. They want to get to know you.

Review from Marketing Dept

That they wanted to know about me and my strenghts but also what I liked about the company and their history.

Review from Marketing Dept

My personal interview process was very relaxed, I felt comfortable even though interviewing is always stressful for me.

Review from Marketing Dept

They let me know exactly what they were looking for.

It was a while ago, but the casual open nature of it.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Interviews Reviews

I was hired on the spot but other coworkers were told they were hired then didn't hear back for months!

What makes you most happy at work?

Outlook Reviews

My job offers flexibility like working from home full time or mixed with going to an office space, I can move my hours around, my team are all really nice people who I like and there's a good amount of work but it's manageable and my time really flies. My team is creative and fun.

Review from Marketing Dept

My team, we have a great time working together and collaborating on new ideas and events.

The people I work with make me the happiest!

My coworkers are amazing and fun to be around.

The team and the people.
