Pros

I loved my colleagues and was so appreciative of their hard work and friendship!

Cons

Working for David Wise was, by far, the worst CEO I have ever worked for. - "Unlimited PTO" is absolutely not true. Time off is discouraged from David. - He is the biggest micromanager that I've ever experienced working with. - Likes to put sales reps on PIPs (Performance Improvement Plans), because he said "it will encourage them." - He all around does not know how to truly care for the PEOPLE who work for him. If he doesn't like you, you'll know. - Definitely has narcissistic qualities. Highly suggest not to work at this company / for the CEO. I wish I had listened to the person who had warned me about him prior to starting here.

Pros

My co-trainees and I started full of excitement and hope. For many of us, it was our very first job, and we were eager to prove ourselves. Though everything fell apart later, I'm grateful for the friends I made and for learning just how cruel the real world can be.

Cons

- Every promise made was a complete lie. Good pay, balance, and a fun workplace were nothing but bait to lure us in. - We were misled from the very beginning, fed with false hope and empty words. - The company used our excitement and inexperience as a weapon against us, exploiting every ounce of effort we gave. - Unrealistic deadlines were thrown at us without mercy, and long hours became the norm. - Exhaustion, frustration, and constant pressure filled every day until enthusiasm turned into pure resentment. - The leadership and CEO showed no care for employees-only greed, control, and self-interest. - Working here was not an opportunity; it was a brutal lesson in how far a company will go to take advantage of its people.
