Pros
Training modules, activities, hire out of college without experience
Cons
Now that it has been a couple years since I was let go from WebFX, I can now reflect on this place for what it is really was. It should be considered unethical to make employees clock on for events in the middle of the work day. The company will throw events and say they aren't required, but it will be frowned upon if you don't attend and then stay later to make up for the hour or more that you were at the event. No other work place that I have been at since runs on this type of mentality. I worked at temp job at law firm, a temp job for the city, and now work a permanent position at an institution. Sure, my bearings since working at WebFX are now more within the public sector, although when I have spoken to others that work in Sales, Marketing, at private companies they have looked at me like I was crazy for accepting the treatment that I did from this company. In what world is it okay to expect someone to have a timer running on their computer, and make them stop the timer whenever they have to get up to use the restroom? In what world is it ethical to have employees create content for clients under a fake identity with fake credentials? I literally had to do all of my work under a fake name, with exaggerated work experience. Why did they make me do this? Because this identity is tied to their LLC, not to WebFX, so any negative reviews won't reflect poorly on WebFX. I questioned my manager about this and they said it's perfectly legal...sure, but is it really right? This place is SKETCHY. Most people that work at WebFX have been there since they graduated college, so they don't know what it's like on the outside. They whole mentality of this place literally gives off the same vibe as the Spongebob episode where the Krusty Krab get's taken over by a micromanaging corporate yuppy... "cut the chatter and pick up the platter!!!".
