SCAM ALERT!! Read All 1-Star Reviews Before Applying! In today’s job market, we all understand the urgency of securing employment. However, I strongly urge you to think twice before considering this company. Their hiring practices are deeply questionable, and their employee retention strategy is outright unethical. A Pattern of Hiring and Layoffs This company follows a well-documented cycle: they aggressively hire employees, overburden them with excessive workloads, and then systematically lay them off just before their first work anniversary. This isn't an occasional occurrence—it's a deliberate and annual practice. Every January, departments experience mass layoffs. The cuts follow a predictable pattern: 1–2 department heads, followed by 3–5 mid-level employees, across multiple teams. This strategy is designed to extract maximum output from employees before cutting them loose, without long-term commitments. Why Hasn’t This Been Investigated? It is baffling how such practices continue without legal consequences. The company treats employees as disposable assets, disregarding their contributions and well-being. One can only speculate about the deeper operational issues that drive this exploitative approach. Protect Your Career & Mental Well-being If you value job stability, professional growth, and a healthy work environment, steer clear at all costs. No job is worth the emotional toll of being discarded after months of hard work. I implore you to thoroughly research reviews and past employee experiences before making any commitments. Consider yourself warned. Choose wisely.

Pros

Last resort for reps who desperately need a job

Cons

-company hires reps based on their current book of biz. Once they feel the rep exhausts their leads to move over, they look to replace them -toxic management that never changes -no 401k match -CROs seem to last about a year -favoritism towards tenured reps -lose credibility with your clients when campaigns don’t perform and they get bad support - very low company morale -no one gets promoted -low stock price -frequent layoffs -horrible public reviews/reputation to have to explain to clients, and your friends and family
