This is a very deceitful company with red flags flying all around the office in terms of ethics, the way employees get treated, and how clients are deliberately lied to in order to churn a profit. The CEO is a self proclaimed "success story" that tends to hold herself highly as a business professional, which in actuality contradicts how she runs her business. The points below will outline all that I have witnessed as a dedicated full time employee:
As an employee at CBM, you'll be required to lie to clients at all times. As I have mentioned before, there's approximately 10 employees, however that doesn't account for the 20+ fake aliases that are representing the company to give the company this glamorous appeal of being a "larger company". We have clients all the time inquiring about someone that no one in the office has ever heard of before. The positive reviews on Glassdoor is another prime example of the continuous lying that happens at this place. All the positive reviews are written by none other.... The CEO herself. Don't believe me? If you get an interview, ask the employees around the office how they feel about the work situation/environment at CBM. Facial expressions, prolonged delays in responses, and honest verbal answers should provide you all the clarification that you need.
Let's move on to ethics. Since the workforce at CBM is practically non-existent and the clients who were bamboozled to do business with CBM still need services delivered. You would think that a digital agency would deliver quality work, especially for the amount of marketing dollars some of these companies are shelling out. Nope! Guess again! There's a huge outflow of work being outsourced to 3rd world countries and this very popular online platform of freelancers that do terrible work for five dollars.
Let's move on to the topic about how you will be treated. If you like being paid on time for the hours you have worked and because you have bills to pay, you can forget about that. On top of not being paid on time, you also won't be notified that you're not getting a paycheck until it's actually brought up in conversation at the office. Want a raise for being loyal and a hard working employee? The response you'll receive is that you're replaceable by someone in the Philippines or India who is willing to work for a 1/5th of what you're worth.
There's a reason why this agency has a terrible reputation and a higher turn over rate than any other agency in Orlando. If you're in dire need of a "job" (not a career), this is a place to collect a late paycheck twice a month to get your bills paid until you find something else. You won't learn much at CBM but you will learn not to work for another company that has the same red flags as I have mentioned throughout this post.
