Live and learn - Anonymous employee Dealer Inspire Employee Review

First off, when I worked there I was asked to write a positive glass door review to offset the bad ones being written. The negative reviews have been removed but I don’t know how many times it will work before glass door catches on that the negative reviews are very true. Now here is my opinion on my work experience there….. I worked with an assembly line of coders cranking out websites with an expected monthly quota to be met. Deadlines were very difficult to meet resulting in high stress situations, poor implementations and the owner/managers passive aggressively telling their exhausted overworked team that they needed more time and effort out of them. It felt more like a coding factory than a web company. My work\life balance was greatly skewed towards work. I personally received zero compensation for sometimes up to 55 or 65 hour weeks. I was typically expected to work at least 50 hours every week. I was contacted on vacation, at nights, on weekends ect…. I felt the employees were underpaid and overworked. Their owner and management always promoted treating people awesome but it never quite felt like that to me. In closing... Don’t let the beer keg, dance floor, loud music and loud office environment machine’s fool you. If it’s too good to be true then it typically is, and this company is no exception. If you are fresh out of college don’t be fooled into thinking this is a young hip non-corporate job. On the outside they promote a fantasy work culture where everyone is equal and #awesome to lure people into thinking they are part of something bigger. I wanted to believe in this fantasy work culture. Who wouldn’t? Unfortunately it’s nothing more than a fantasy and I ended up leaving. Reality is treating me much better these days.
