        Business Outlook

        Pros

        - Depending on role, pay is competitive - Genuinely caring and competent individuals scattered throughout the organization - Stated Mission is one that resonates with me personally - Does allow internal mobility (but contributes to a con listed below)

        Cons

        - One of the most toxic cultures I've experienced in my career of ~10 companies - Preaches itself as a People company; doesn't live up to that in practice - Most leaders aren't interested in solving problems - just playing politics - Top-down management culture (no ownership in your role unless your ED / DVP+) - Firedrill culture (no accountability to planning, strategy, prioritization) - Lack of accountability towards outcomes: those who care and/or are competent to have to pick up the slack and fix the problems caused by those not held accountable for their persistent lack of performance - Significant portion of the workforce are okay with the above; leaching the SMB's they serve money and time

                  Great Bemefits, work/life balance, pay is kinda fair. They fire lazy and incompetent people. Great for minorities and women.

                  Cons

                  Outsourcing to BRIC countries, which seems like a conflict with personal information. Having Indian workers having access to American personal information. India works with Russia, the country that commits identity fraud. Creates a risk of longevity in the company’s future.

                      Pros

                      - The culture is great, everyone is commutative and encouraging to one another. - Option to be creative with your pitches and choose what to say. - Promotes within.

                      Cons

                      - One of my biggest cons is the pay, you’ll mainly make the base minimum pay to start which is not ideal with bills. In the event you do get a deal, it’s rare so I wouldn’t expect commission right away. - Territories go to people with seniority which doesn’t offer a great opportunity for newcomers with experience in the industry.

                        Cons

                        TriNet is a third party outsourcing to another third party. They are moving so many jobs to lower paying countries and letting go of the hardworking, loyal employees in the US. The leaders say it's to "optimize the business", but I think we all know that is a lie. It is to add to their pockets. The customer service is just getting worse and they don't seem to care. The expertise just isn't there anymore.

                      I had an panel interview(which seems the last interview?) on Nov.21st, sent thank you email, and received response(look forward to our next step) on same day. but have not heard back from them afterwards. I understand that we had Thanksgiving weekend but should I send follow up email? or should I just wait?

                      I am having an interview on Monday. Any tips or suggestions? I am finally getting back in work force after 1and a half year of break. I feel like I have lost the touch with current Digital Marketing landscape.

                      I was recently laid off from a small cap company and worked as a data engineer for 2 years. Interviewing with another company started off today with the HR round. How and when do you guys negotiate sign on bonus? Is the rule of thumb is 10% of the compensation?
