Pros

Fun, young and upbeat work environment. Nice office with convenient location.

Cons

They could potentially have success since the CEO and COO are both well established, but they fall flat when it comes to fulfilling the company's ideas and vision. They change the company's mission every week, with hopes that idea for the time being will pan out. They are conducting sales with advertisers under false pretenses that they have a "partnership" with hotels while they don't. They claim that they are working with top rated luxury hotels, meanwhile there's just outdated agreements, and now are moving on to lower level motels/hotels in the California area. The atmosphere is very laid back, but due to the amount of lay-offs and hostility between co-workers it has created a very ominous environment where it seems like every one is nervous each day if they will even have a job. Management does a rather poor job of lifting the office spirits, due to their poor communication. Everything is kept secretive, and you will not know about huge changes until minutes before -such as hour changes, pay cuts and entire new assignments. They also promise huge commission bumps, or pay raises in the future- never actually following through. Employees who want to quit or leave are given new "titles" with no meaning or power behind them. The sales side is highly competitive, with strict call counts enforced, managers cursing/yelling at you and pushed to lie/deceive potential clients to close a sale. The sales managers are incredibly deceitful and disrespectful to everyone they encounter. With no consideration to your feelings, they will flat out curse, insult and belittle you in front of whoever is there. Unfortunately, an idea and company that could potentially be very successful is on a downward spiral. Most of the employees who weren't laid off are looking elsewhere for new employment. I'd recommend staying away from this sinking ship.

Pros

The job is really nice. It pays better than most for the same type of work. There's a high energy atmosphere and that's always nice. It's a good balance for work and getting to know people. The technology is up to par for anyone, really. What I really like about the job is that it doesn't get tiring. They'll know if you belong here and you'll enjoy the people. It's like everyone's special here. But besides from that, there's a lot to learn and study up on in finding your own way so you'll never be bored if you need to have some sort of work to do. They have good breaks as well. The area is good, too, so you can visit the back bay if you like nature.

Cons

The hours are an hour longer than usual because of the hour lunch, I suppose. There has been lots of new tables and computers so there are lots of crates in the patio and it can be dusty out there. The office is going to move someday and it is going to be soon enough for it to be a thing. People have left during our last hiring "sesh". That might change, but I think two people that were here before me have gone. Make that 3.
