Pros

The pros here are mostly masked by the cons, but I'll do my best to squeeze a few out: -You'll meet some really cool people here and make a few friends. This is mostly because you spend hours on end with them, suffering, starving, overworking and wallowing in eachother's misery...longing to simply eat lunch or dinner. This seems dramatic, because it is. That's how it always was at TRAFFIK. -I lost a good amount of weight here from not having time to eat, so I guess that is a pro -Pretty cool office I must admit, but it comes at the cost of the company profiting from underpaying you, overworking you and overcharging their clients up the b-hole to pay for the astronomical rent and the CEO's lux lifestyle. At least you can be thin and suffer in style. -You'll be pushed to your limits and patience and learn how to masterfully put on a smile to adhere to the bogus office politics. "You'll do well here if you show initiative and take on more work" = "Just do what we say and don't complain.” As soon as you say you can’t do something (especially after or BEFORE hours), it’s as if the world will explode. So now I’m thin, suffering in style and have an awesome poker face

Cons

I could go on about the countless insane stories, rules and conversations I’ve had with management at TRAFFIK, but here are a few general ones: -Management was and is super weird about working from home, especially right now. Only the select few who have weaseled their way into bed with the CEO have this flexibility without being hardcore questioned or flat out forced to use sick hours or unpaid leave. -get ready for all nighters with nobody giving a crap when you have plans, need to sleep or really anything. -they’ll do anything to save a dollar, starting with your compensation. Also the profit sharing is bogus. You won’t see a dollar from that in a long time, if ever -if you like getting hundreds or emails and notifications a day and txts at night with same day rushes and urgent tasks, TRAFFIK is the place for you -the turnover rate is U N R E A L! People couldn’t take it anymore and every time someone would leave, we’d all be sad but jealous that they don’t have to live in this never-ending email notification vortex anymore -Corrupt office politics with almost as much smoke and mirrors as the 2020 Presidential Election. Your emails and anything “wrong” you do will be FWDed, talked about behind your back and mentally noted. You MUST NOT make any mistakes when you are working 18 hour days, and if you do, you’re on the naughty list -So many choices for my last con, but I’ll leave you here: the company started a policy where you are required to smile at each other within a certain foot distance. And say hello at a closer foot distance. Not sure where this rule ended up with working from home, but just let that sink in. Save yourself the headache and accept literally any other job offer

False. Job seekers: Glassdoor does not validate or verify that these negative posts are accurate, true or even legitimate. It is Glassdoor's position that they are unable and unwilling to prove the authenticity of any post. TRAFFIK vehemently denies the claims made above.

Our environment isn't for everyone, but we can assure you that those looking for an opportunity to be stretched, challenged and acknowledged for a job well done - will find a good home at TRAFFIK. We look forward to meeting those of you that can see past the false narrative being painted on a sounding-board site like Glassdoor. Applications for dragon slayers now being accepted!

If there's one con, it's how hard it is to choose where to eat lunch at the Irvine Spectrum! Lots of option!

Pros

Nothing good to say about this company is good.

Cons

The owner is only looking out for himself and not his employees. You are paid minimum wage but expected to work around the clock. There is a reason the company uses short term employment agencies to fill jobs and that is because it does not treat its employees right or pay them fairly.
