Pros

Convenient location, nice view from office, hard working / smart people in middle management.

Cons

C-Level executives do not understand the mobile market. The CEO, while ambitious, can't stick to a plan and won't listen to the people he has hired because of their expertise. The VP / COO is a 'yes man' that prints out every email sent to him and spends most of his day trying to get people to do tasks for his grocery store project that is amazingly unprofitable and time consuming. The preferred method of motivation for the CEO is yelling, which mixes well with his drinking. Overlay that with the COO's micro-management and you have a winning combination!

Pros

Working for the company was a great experience. The original CEO ML was great to work with and created a great mobile platform. It was fun to invent things with the development crew.

Cons

One of the owners was a person who changed his mind daily. Probably due to the fact that he was intoxicated quite often. This made it difficult most days for development and sales. The CEO and COO did their best to handle his antics. He ran off a lot of great people.

Pros

The view from the office is nice.

Cons

If you want a job that promises great things to its employees and clients but doesn't deliver, this job is for you. If you go to an interview with this business, then you should know that it's a dysfunctional call center (don't believe any hype that portays it as anything else). If you're looking to be taken down a peg or two from upper management, this job is for you. There is so much wrong here that I could write an entire book series and still have more to say. I would not wish employment with iShoutOut upon even my worst of enemies. If you have even the slightest amount of self-respect, sanity, or notion that your job should be at least a little fun or fulfilling, you will steer clear of this business. My experience working for them was so bad that I will probably throw a party on the day that iShoutOut goes out of business.
