They treat everybody like cattle, which begins with the daily “Cow Bell” for which you must be present at 8am sharp. Everybody gathers in a corner of the office, where they give announcements and encourage everybody to grind for the day. You are supposed to bring a notepad and pen to every meeting, because tHeRe'S aLwAyS sOmEtHinG yOu cAn LeArn. Everybody must take lunch at noon and return by 1pm sharp. There are numerous TVs which transition between leaderboards and the “Grindset Mindset” checklist. It is fully in-office, and WFH days are treated as a “perk” you can earn once you reach a certain milestone (and also have taken away should you slip up). They play radio hits over the speakers 24/7, so unless that’s your thing, you may feel like you’re stuck in a black mirror episode on a never-ending loop. Most of the employees don’t seem to notice how peculiar the culture is, perhaps because they are mostly recent grads or from retail. In any case, it’s not for everybody.
Low pay, tedious work, lousy candidates, and bad ethics – you are incentivized to offer candidates as little money as possible so that you can capture more for yourself and the company (yet the company pays pennies in commission until you have 1-2 years of tenure). It should tell you all you need to know that they mandate a 12-month noncompete for the entire metropolitan area for this entry level role. Their business model is exploiting and churning new grads.
