Pros

Literally no work to do as long as you're okay with collecting a paycheck and clocking out.

Cons

No work to do, bosses who micromanage, not at all interesting, minimal advancement. There's no respect in the workplace. People have used the N-word and have been blatantly sexist with little to no consequences. There's a lot of yelling and blaming when things go wrong. There's an incredibly high turnover rate for a reason. This is not a good place to work. It is basically a frat house that pays you to be hazed.

HookLogic Response
10y
Hello - Thank you for your review. I am writing as the Head of Human Resources for HookLogic. While I appreciate your honest feedback I am very disappointed that this was your experience. We expect the best from our employees…both in work performance and in upholding a respectful culture. I am appalled that these are things you may have witnessed, overheard or were exposed to in one way or another. We have always made it a point to respond swiftly and decisively to the issues like the ones you point out: racial insensitivity, sexist remarks, harassment or bullying. HookLogic does not support these views. They are unfortunately real issues in today's workplace and we take them very seriously. If your concerns were brought to my attention this would have been investigated and if proven, those responsible would have been summarily terminated. We’ve been growing rapidly and we’ve put a lot of measures in place to support our employees and ensure open lines of communication. However, we do recognize that sometimes certain issues don’t always come to light. We will continue to work hard at identifying those issues sooner rather than later. Still, I want you to know that you can contact me directly if you have any concerns that were unaddressed during your employment at HookLogic. I would personally welcome your feedback on these matters. Thank you, Head of Human Resources HookLogic

Pros

HookLogic is becoming a real heavy-hitter in the digital ad space. The company has grown quite a bit since I started there a year ago and shows no signs of slowing down, which can only mean more career opportunities and growth down the road. The office environment is fun, casual and -- as has been my experience -- as long as you get your work done, nobody micromanages.

Cons

The Ann Arbor office can be a bit cliquey. This isn't a deal breaker for me, as I tend to keep my work life and my social life separate, but if you aren't in one of the inner circles, don't expect to get invited to happy hours unless either a) it's a company sponsored event, or b) you find someone who knows and ask them what the plan is. I can see why some of the negative reviews described the office as a "good old boys club," but I would NOT go as far as to say it's like working for a fraternity and getting paid to be hazed, as one of the negative reviews pointed out. At least not on my team.
