Brander Group Reviews

- Employees are watched on camera at all times (not to mention the app installed on the computers that takes pictures of your screen every 3 minutes!) - Employees messages and calls to coworkers may or may not be recorded and reviewed later by management (privacy who?) - Bathroom breaks are monitored (don’t take too many or be gone too long!) - Yes, you can accrue PTO (vacation and sick are bundled here, 10 whole days for the entire year!), but there is a cap in the system that prevents you from getting to the total amount (not sketchy at all….) and you may or may not be encouraged to not use your PTO, instead being told it will get paid out at the end of each year like a sad little bonus (but again, you may or may not get capped and not even get the full amount paid out, even if you took 0 days off) - Management does not recognize or abide by HIPAA laws, so don’t expect any privacy or respect if you get sick or (god forbid) need to see a doctor - Submitting a doctors note may be deemed a lie and untrustworthy (because they can be forged of course!) - Limited Benefits package (because no one actually uses their vision insurance! Sorry glasses and contacts users!) - No work/life balance (because in this day and age, who doesn’t want to spend 100% of their time working?) - Employees are terrified to stay home when they are sick (so anticipate your coworkers being wildly sick in the office instead of staying home and resting) - Work at home is never an option- if you want autonomy to work at the pace you know is best for you, look literally anywhere else - Expect to arrive before your actual start time and leave well after your end time, and if you choose to work a standard 8 hour day with a lunch break, you might hear rumors that you are “lazy” - If a coworker decides to (inevitably) quit, you may hear things like “they are stealing from me. I trained them so everything they know is because of me” (lets not get into the semantics that we are all learning and growing at every company we work for and that every C Suite executive on this planet started at another company and learned from multiple managers…..) - There is no career growth here - don’t worry, you will probably gain additional duties and responsibilities but with little to no additional compensation (and expect to say “thank you” for this wonderful growth opportunity!) - Here’s a tip…. make sure commission is built into your offer letter, you’ll thank me later. - Some people are allowed to earn commissions, others aren’t (good luck figuring out who’s who!) - There is no “seat at the table” - this is the silliest thing you will hear during your interview process. - 80% turnover rate - you will never work with the same group of people for more than a few months (great for morale!) - 10/10 would recommend applying anywhere else. You will make more money and have a better work/life balance literally anywhere else. Run, do not walk, in any other direction but here

The president is not the type of leader you want to work under. Extreme micro-manager and humiliating to his employees. Worked here for a week and during the weekly meeting he went through every single person’s PTO balance asking if he’d ever denied PTO requests. One employee had been in the hospital, which was the reason for her negative PTO balance and the presidents response was “you weren’t in the hospital the whole time” I refuse to work for someone who thinks my job is more important than my life.
