Vantaggi
Smaller company and I felt like I could get to actually know the employees there. I was hired as a new role and I was given pretty much free reign on what I wanted to try since they had no dedicated marketing/social media person before. Flexible hours so I eventually was able to get in early and leave early which was nice. Quiet office so it was easy to work at - this was pre-Covid so everything was in office.
Svantaggi
- The pay was definitely low. PTO was abysmal. The benefits were expensive and were limited in choice. - Salaried employees had to clock in and out. - Desk employees (non-repair technicians) had to start wearing branded/logo shirts/jackets/vests and it seems like that has continued into today. None of these desk employees were client facing, nor did clients come into the office area so why does everyone need to wear a Total Scope shirt? Literally no point. And we had to pay for it out of pocket too. - Nepotism for sure. Family/babysitters/friends of the CEO being hired was common. - A sort of gentleman's club among the sales team, There were and are women in the sales team, but it was obvious who was given priority. - Laid off almost a year to date of hire. Claimed they could not support the role as full time. Three-four months later, gave the exact job with a better title to the front desk/admin assistant as a full time role. - Could not listen to music via headphones. - Unpaid lunch break - Minimal diversity: overwhelmingly white and male
