Pros

Work from anywhere was the only benefit

Cons

Please run for your lives. This is a red flag company that adjusts your targets all the time. 1. No bonus. When some teams have to work double or triple the hours due to high turnover and slow (or no) hiring, just to find out that there’s no bonus. How do you expect employees to stay motivated? Pretty sure most of the budget for bonuses are given to the “upper management” who are also obvious reasons why people are leaving. 2. Most new management hires also have 0 knowledge of TSL’s content, much less the culture here. Training is barely given, and everyone ends up telling clients ridiculous ideas, leaving other departments to clean up their mess. Everyone used to be so collaborative, but now it’s every department for themselves. Probation can also be passed even if there are no results shown. 3. Not relevant to my department but I know that they often change contractual terms (i.e commissions, notice periods) without even informing beforehand. 4. Career progression is almost non existent. Have seen so many colleagues work more than 3 years, yet no promotion at all. Increment is also low. Don’t want to comment much on the kol agency that they acquired as well…

Pros

A flexible clock-in time is one of the few notable benefits offered by the company.

Cons

I'd say most people here are friendly and supportive. However, there is still some workplace toxicity at times. Considering the workload and expectations, the compensation does not feel proportionate to the amount of work required. In addition, the promotion process lacks clear standardization and transparency, which can make career progression feel uncertain.
