Beautiful Community - Creative Director OOHLALA Mobile Employee Review

The people are amazing. They are friendly, hardworking and intelligent. The company tries their best to host events/team building opportunities. Training was thorough and sales commission structure was good but low base salary (so it balances out only if you are performing well).

1. Disconnect between vision and actual product/ company operations. They talk and motivate their employees by preaching the impact their product will have on the lives and success of students and student affairs, but there is such a huge emphasis on selling and upselling that real impact is not made. This makes it hard and demotivating to sell or support the product. 2. There is a severe lack of transparency and lack of communications between teams. There is also an illusion that everyones opinions are valid and will be heard but nothing is acted upon. 3. There is high turnover and employees are not properly invested in. Wine & cheeses are great, but offering substantial benefits and compensation for all employees will motivate people to stay long term.

Amazing people, you'll make some great friends. Lot's of "responsibility" and scope to take on tons of extra work. Just have to make the most of it and make sure you learn as much as you can while you're there. If you can suffer through it for a while and get as much experience as possible, think of it as a stepping stone to find a better job after.

Awful working environment. On the outset everything seems rosy and cheery, but don't be fooled. Give it a month tops before you start to see through the cracks. Be prepared to deal with lots of unnecessary red tape and bureaucracy to get the bare minimal done. Pretty ironic given that it's a flat structure. You will be underpaid, overworked, and constantly promised things you will never get. No benefits, bonuses, etc. Very disorganized company as a whole, and unnaturally focused on just sales. You will most likely be miserable there once you've settled in. The previous two reviews are extremely disappointing, as it's clearly an attempt by the current management to increase the company's rating and take away from the first, and more accurate review.
