Vantaggi
Brander Group has an interesting business model and the growth possibilities are intriguing, but the toxic CEO and disturbing work environment he’s built supersede any potential benefits. If you are fresh out of college and looking for your first IT job, this MIGHT be a good fit to get your “experience” before moving on to a legitimate organization. Beware though - that’s only if you’re open working in an abusive environment. Coworkers are mostly nice and friendly.
Svantaggi
Plan to arrive before your start time and leave after your end time every day for the duration of your employment. That’s expected. The benefits are lackluster. Do not expect to take any PTO - regardless of 10 TOTAL days (womp womp) offered annually. Personal or sick - the owner does not care and will subtly, or NOT, judge and penalize you. He doesn’t trust that his employees are working and monitors them on cameras set up in the office. Personal conversations with colleagues during the business day are not allowed. You will literally be reprimanded. Don’t take too long in the bathroom, either… Also not allowed. There is clear favoritism based on the leads you receive… If you receive them. The owner is challenging to work with (at best) - and that’s putting it VERY mildly. He is a loose cannon, angry, emotional and inappropriate. This place is an HR NIGHTMARE. There is no HR department, though, so don’t expect any protection. Turnover is VERY high. The only longer term employees are not based in Scottsdale and therefore don’t have to work with the owner directly or on a daily basis. Honestly, RUN away from this place. It’s not worth your time or sanity. PS - employees are directed to submit positive business reviews with specific points that are contrary to the truth.
