Pros

Pros??? Ummm I received a very small check every two weeks for hours upon hours of working.

Cons

Where do I begin? I began working here for a whopping $32,000 with a college degree. That's enough to pay for absolutely nothing. I worked from 8:30 am to about 7pm everyday. It felt like a prison not a job. The workload was insane I mean INSANE! I was doing the job of about 6 people combined into one. I would go into the bathroom after my morning coffee that tasted like it was from a gas station and have panic attacks. My body would shake and I would feel as if I was going to throw up. My body began to deteriorate, my skin was a mess my hair was falling out and Goldbug kept squeezing me more and more. Stress will do some pretty terrible things to your body. But what I did was never good enough, I was never good enough. I never received a job well done, and I was never thanked for the work that I did. I once worked till 11 pm at night. That is insane! I worked on the weekends I worked non stop! I would cry on the drive home just feeling so stuck, insignificant and unappreciated. The "leaders" there do not know how to lead. Management is a skill, not everyone is cut out to lead. Nearly every single person there in an upper management position does not know a thing about leading. They will treat you like trash until you unfold and finally give up and leave. Benefits? What's that? After working about 50-60 hours a week I was entitled to 8 days off.... Seriously... Not to mention you are completely underpaid. My advice would be not to work here, it will make you hate your life. I honestly don't think the place is going to make it. There is a new person working every week! I'm not joking. They move people around in th different departments on a monthly basis due to the turnover. I think I worked on every account within a year! It's just such a mess because the only core value is how much money can we make for the people in the higher positions? I know how, lets hire college graduates pay them nothing and then pay people six figures in management positions.

Pros

Had a really great team. Got to do several team building outings and holiday events. Plus the team genuinely cared about each other and would help each other when things got busy. Really well organized.

Cons

The salary was mediocre. I think our department head could have worked harder for us to get better salaries/benefits/promotions. She wasn't great.
