Pros

A team of colleagues who are always willing to go the extra mile to help each other out. (reworded by AI for anonymity)

Cons

1. The company's priorities are profits, clients, and then employees. This has created a negative work environment where employees feel undervalued and mistreated. 2. Directors have a history of firing employees without notice or reason. This has created a climate of fear and uncertainty in the workplace. No replacements are hired. 3. Employees were underpaid due to commission errors. The company/finance team denied responsibility for the errors, even though they were significant for the employees. 4. Senior management is providing employees with fewer tools and resources than they had in the past (20% of previous amount). They are also expecting employees to produce more work (110% including growth). This is an unfair and unrealistic expectation. 5. Management micromanages to an extreme degree. They call for immediate meetings at all hours, which is disruptive and stressful for employees. 6. There is no opportunity for career growth or development in this company. There are no hard skills to learn or develop, and the soft skills that are available can be learned elsewhere (reworded by AI for anonymity)

Pros

the only pros are the salary and two hybrid days

Cons

Do not take a job with Guidepoint, even if you were a strong student in college and consider yourself a hard worker. The project managers are fine, but the team leads are awful. You won’t learn any tangible skills; the work largely consists of reaching out to people on LinkedIn for hours on end. On top of that, they will let people go very easily. Stay away from this company.
