Vantaggi
Low level employees typically bond, become friends, stick together. It can be fun hanging out as a group outside of work
Svantaggi
This is not a real “job” or “company.” Majority of the office staff is outsourced to Peru. If office staff in DC, be ready for a 42k starting salary but it’s based on revenue-share so it’s always a different amount and some months will be way lower than you budgeted for. Theres no structure. Just 2 hands-off owners that randomly want to jump in and make changes to things and a COO whose only job is to please the owners, which is an impossible task. Then 3 “Director” cronies that spend their time monitoring your work hour by hour. Every minute of your workday is heavily surveilled. The office itself is run down and decrepit, had problems with rats, holes in the walls, only 1 window for the office, flickering lights. The workload is insane. You’ll be expected to do 60 hours of work in 40 hours so you have to hide the extra 20 hours just to keep your job (they don’t want to pay you overtime so you have to hide your extra hours, but you still have to complete all work). 401k matching doesn’t start until after a year of employment, no vision insurance. Ownership/COO is moving in multiple directions at once, just making things more confusing. You also have to cross ethical, legal, moral lines if resolving landlord/tenant disputes. I was instructed to lie to government officials. The company doesn’t work for slumlords, the service they provide turns good landlords into slumlords and somehow the landlord clients still lose money.
