Pros

-Friendly staff and members -Passion does exist within the company

Cons

-Extremely disorganized. Staff is often confused and missing information. -Lack of leadership. They have variations of matrix and standard leadership, both of which are complicated and unnecessary. Leadership is hard to reach, unhelpful, and sometimes disrespectful. -Be aware Micro Office is the parent company with multiple subsidiaries, some of which have already failed. -Lack of community. People feel isolated. It's very difficult to communicate with co-workers. -Job responsibilities drastically changed within weeks of me being hired. They wanted me to switch to a new role, which I was not comfortable doing. -I was often not paid on time or in the right amounts, and I had to fight for the corrections. -Commissions were 10.5% of what was estimated in my contract. Commissions were restricted by multiple missed opportunities and failures by the company. -High turnover rate. -Awkward work environment.

Pros

The ownership are very pleasant to deal with and give a lot of freedom to their mid-level management, learning new skills as the job progresses.

Cons

Sometimes we get a bit disorganized or "behind the ball" on important upgrades.

Pros

The list is endless. But the issue are not the issues but in the lack of logical interest in improving, fixing or letting other resolve the hundreds of tiny issues that ultimtely add up to alot.

Cons

There are many inscrupulous companies, and this is no different. I would especially add how 'differently' women are treated, if thats something you can deal with than be my guest. Community Manager = anything they ask including manual labor. Such as: Unclogging toilets Handling electrical work Cleaning spills Sales, without compensation Events, overtime - mandatory, not paid! Late hours required. Ideas, create, manage all social media without direction, compensation or tools. You are asked to post fake comments con customer satisfaction Huge employee/tenent morale issues. Much more I should have left sooner. As a tenant all you can say is, 'low rent' to justify the amount of disintegration there is in the company and its offerings and facilities. All excuses and hazardous conditions for all. Principals condone unimaginable behaviors such as: Bigotry Misogyny, especially from the the Owner, David Rotbard. LADIES BEWEAR! HUGE turnover due to the realization to the amount of abuse from the owner/ leadership under owner. Misclassification / labor - Admin Exempt with HUGE amounts of independent work with no support. In the most uncomprehending ways. You will spend your own money to compensate for the shortcomings Cutting all kinds of UNSAFE operational corners. You are not cared for by the company. ZERO BENEFITS ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK PAPER WORK AS THEY SWITCH THEM WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. Beyond comprehension, in today's market.
