Pros

Most of the people are very nice. The company has a bold goal

Cons

I'll list these in bullet point and with limited commentary: - Very decrepit office - I have to use my personal phone for business, which I wasn't told before I started - Weekly sales "training" is after business hours on your own time; I also wasn't told that this before I started - Quotation marks are on training because new skills aren't taught or coached; the meetings mostly consist of management giving updates - Lack of success from the sales department gets pushed downhill - The sales department is run very lean, management shares a spreadsheet each month which shows how much each person is costing the company. Which I think is a very odd and uncomfortable way to evaluate a person, let alone to broadcast it to a large group - High turnover, more than I've ever seen in any professional organization - HR is a disaster. They have one rep in-house, and she is great but most of HR is outsourced to a crappy third-party company - No 401k matching

Pros

I think the company 's pretty lucky to have hired resilient and skilled employees.

Cons

I'll say that overall, Collective's management is ridiculously cheap! From our pay and benefits, company equipments and supplies, to every little thing we see and use were paid at the cheapest price! But everyone and everything were overused and abused until they breakdown and that includes the people!
