Pros

Some of the people who work there are cool and easy to get along with

Cons

You are expected to be in no later than 8:30am and cannot leave any earlier than 6:30pm. Say goodbye to your family and social life. CEO expects you to be in no matter the weather, if there are blizzard conditions outside, best believe you'll be going into the office. Clients are never invited to the office, probably because it is a 700 sq ft room with crap everywhere located in an unsafe building. Will only meet with clients in rented office space in the city. When it comes time for you to receive a raise you will be let go so someone entry level can take your place and be paid base salary. There is no lunch break, you are expected to work through lunch and eat at your desk. No perks, CEO claims Summer Friday's are for the birds, but he has no problem playing golf. No sick days no vacation days no personal days, you are given two weeks to use as you wish and that's it. I also find it comical that all positive reviews of this company are from current employees, wonder who put them up to it?

At Life in Mobile, we are constantly striving to improve and create a an awesome work atmosphere for all. It appears that we failed to do so in your case; of which I are very sorry for your experience. I am always willing to hear from team members and receive their feedback so that together we can take strides to improve employee satisfaction. I am proud of the fact that we have had summer Fridays since we opened in August 2012 as well as give a bonus to all team members since inception. As a startup in 2012, this was a huge challenge for us, but we did it. I am always looking for ways to show our employees our appreciation. Our team members make up who we are. They are an amazing group of individuals, whose efforts and hard work are the foundation of our success. I am super grateful of all that they do to ensure Life in Mobile keeps growing. Keep killing it!!

Pros

Life in Mobile is a fun, fast paced, high energy work environment that allows employees to grow and take part in fun, challenging, and innovative projects.

Cons

Not a typical 9-5 job. The workflow can be challenging at times, and employees may have additional roles to play if the need arises. Not a job for someone who is looking to coast.

Pros

Life in Mobile is hands on, high energy and the only place I'm aware of where you can do what we do on a daily basis. No matter your role, you will become a specialist / expert on mobile, consumer engagement, technology and strategy. This is unlike any other place I've worked. The company is family-like, in that everyone has access to one another and there isn't red tape and nonsense to wade through when trying to complete a task. Everyone has the ability to have ownership over important projects and tasks, while helping pave the way within the mobile industry. There is access to multiple health, dental & vision plans, as well as a bunch of other employee benefits through an online system.

Cons

Being a company whose capabilities are very unique, you have to know your stuff if you're client facing. The teachers are there, and the education is accessible but you have to be willing to learn to progress. Because the company as a whole is pushing the envelope of strategy & technology, the education is always evolving.
