Seventh Point reviews

overworked, underpaid, disorganized, cast blame on those lower on the totem pole, misogynistic. First, I'd like to point out any of the reviews you read that are highly-rated and well-written stem from a period of time when the company had each employee write a positive review to help inflate their ratings. Note the ones that all say "current employee" and are posted from 2014 - those are the ones that management had us write. There is likely not one former employee or long-standing employee that would have positive things to say unless they were one of the golden boys. Second, don't believe a word they say. They have done the same thing over and over again for 30 years now. Grow, fall apart, rebuild. And by rebuilding, they fire everyone from the top down (that isn't one of the white male VPs) that makes more than a regular sales base salary at most companies. Then overwork all the women who are actually making the company operate and hire some other people at the bare minimum/hourly wages. They are known around the Virginia Beach area among agencies as "the sweat shop." Third, while there is great opportunity to learn and grow (in your knowledge-base - certainly not salary), everyone is fighting their way to the top so they'll use any useful information shared for their own well-being. If you're trying to grow in your career, you have to force the conversation, and then won't be taken seriously with much documentation for reasoning of a raise. Fourth, prepare for a toxic environment of working way too much for way too little. Be told you have unlimited PTO, but shunned for taking it. Do your best, but be known for your worst. Secret conversations all around you, even if you have intuition. No good management, no HR department, no clear direction of your job or where the company is going. Fifth, get out while you still can.

Run, don’t walk. This is a toxic, misogynist culture with no HR department, no professional development, no performance reviews, no clear roles, no defined work hours. Honestly, you’ll never know who you are working for or what you’ll be held responsible for if something goes wrong. There is a culture of finger-pointing and blame shifting, especially when a client leaves. The turnover will give you whiplash. There is rotating cast (every 2-3 years) of overpaid white male VPs. Women are not taken seriously, despite the fact that young, entry-level women keep this place running. You will never see a woman in a leadership role; it’s not even on the table. Aside from the owner and one VP, who are constantly infighting, no one lasts. Every wave of exits is followed by a period of “rebuilding” and a narrative that they’ve finally figured it out this time—a fresh start! Don’t buy it. They use this messaging when interviewing. People leave bitter. If you are interviewing (and this place is often hiring!) reach out to a current or former employee on LinkedIn. I can’t think of a single ex-employee who would speak highly of their experience.
