Pros

None, maybe that it's in a nice part of LA? But they don't offer you onsite parking, its street parking 3 blocks away.

Cons

I would never think a business could be this toxic from day one, but I was wrong. My first day an employee gave me the disclaimer that the CEO and other manager fought often in the office and to not take things personally when getting scolded or micromanaged by the CEO (this is my first 10 minutes). My first day I experienced the yelling, scolding, and many unprofessional behaviors in this office. Stay away! They offered me the position on the spot in the interview and I was out of options due to covid. They offered me less pay than I asked and no benefits (even though in the interview they said they offered them). They also offered me to not take a 30 minute lunch break but to keep working and to just eat at my desk. I have never been treated so horribly on a first day on the job until this place. While I was being trained for the position it was vert confusing since one person would tell me to do a task one way, and the manager would scold me for doing the task that way. When I asked questions and pointed that out, I was answered with "This is a waste of time!" I was also gaslit constantly and then offered a compliment. I felt very pressured to not take breaks or even use the restroom. I wasn't even able to talk to other employees without getting scolded by the CEO for not making enough phone calls. The CEO in the interview said this was not telemarketing but making contacts "business to business" this is definitely telemarketing and use many scummy tactics to get their business. I was told to be a bully and talk over people when on the phone and to be rude. Not sure if that's exactly how you run a business.

Pros

Who I am: I graduated from a top 5 undergraduate business school and currently work in marketing at a fortune 20 company. I started my career at LGen before my current job. My opinion of this company is really good. The role: Communicating with fortune 500 C level executives on a daily basis on behalf of LGen's clients. Why I liked it? The team leaders were great to work with Nice, educated, high performing coworkers The job is fairly easy You get to interact with C level executives at fortune 500's every day which teaches clear, matter of fact communication The work teaches you important business concepts. Since the role involves communicating with skilled professionals you need to know what you are talking about. It helped me get a really good marketing job It taught me extremely powerful communication and sales skills which cannot be learned easily anywhere else It helped me really understand what marketing and sales really looks like

Cons

job can be repetitive sometimes environment is fast paced
