Pros

I had a desk and a lunch break. There's a 20 word minimum so I have to keep writing just to reach the minimum

Cons

Glassdoor is meant to be a website that customers, employees, or possibly future employees can get a real view of the company culture, work/life balance etc. It is meant to be honest and an inside look at what goes on. My manager at TransPerfect came to me and asked me to write a positive review for the company. Mind you, my manager never spends time with me, and when she does treats me like I'm incapable of doing anything correctly. My hours are absurd, my work is demeaning, I spend 75% of my day cold-calling, the other 25% I do folding letters, printing envelopes, and stuffing mailers. Based on what I was told I'd be doing as opposed to what I am actually doing, this job is a joke. Actually, this company is a joke and shouldn't even be considered such. I'm not okay with lying to the people who look to this site for guidance and telling them that this is an excellent company with room for growth because, not to burst your bubble ITS NOT. If you're in this mess, get out while you can.

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
