Pros

-Gym reimbursement -Free snacks -Happy Hours bi-monthly that promotes intermingling of the various teams within the company -Optional -Sans management, the relationship among employees across teams was supportive and friendly

Cons

-Will outright lie during the interview process in order to fill a position -Instead of cultivating new talent in sales, focuses their praise and rewards on well established reps, setting new hires up for failure from the start -Management is so grossly estranged from the rest of its employees -No room for growth unless you want to be a sales representative, and see previous point on cultivating new talent -Poor benefits and compensation -Even poorer management -Sub par training

Pros

Nothing good to say about working at Brandpoint

Cons

Terrible management, even worse culture, very very poor pay and benefits. Everything you can think of is bad about this company.The company thinks that because they offer free snacks in the kitchen, they can treat their employees like hamsters running in wheels. All of the information on the Brandpoint website about what it is like to work there, are complete lies. They do not offer a flexible work schedule, they do not let you play foosball even though they have a table, they watch you like hawks, micromanage you, and don't care about their employees at all.

Pros

- Summer BBQs, free breakfast or lunch on occasion is nice too. - Casual dress code. - Free pop and snacks, beer every other week at the end of the day, free yoga on site a few time a week. - The flexible work schedule is available to most, managers and senior leaders are exempt. Some who work remotely 100% obviously have the lion's share of the perks. There is an obvious inequity between team members, tenure and even departments on this "flexibility."

Cons

- Heavy pressure for high sales performance to overcompensate for slow decrease month over month. - Lack of sales support; a select few are chosen to get lead generation support, leaving the rest of the team to twist in the wind. - Sweeping mandates that do not take into account how each of our client's operates and the diversity of each project. - Senior leaders do not take ownership over issues resulting in a game of "hot potato" when it comes to project fire drills. - Internal tools do not allow for accurate predictions of sales ops, article delivery or cohesive project management. - Client platform is not well suited for all of our client's projects, causing growing client frustrations to manage. - This inability to forecast with any sense of certainly leads to unattainable goals each month and quarter. Failure is a guarantee, despite the continued efforts of the sales and operations teams. - Huge turnover in all departments. Employees leave out of dissatisfaction, lack of opportunity or compensation. - Formal training for career advancement, or even advancement internally is non-existent. Changing a job title does not count. - Compensation as a whole is below market value. Commission and bonus structures are vastly different between departments that are working "collaboratively" together on client work. - There is a big disconnect between the "open door" policy another review mention and the execution of the practice.
