Pros

They hired me. It was basically a 3-month internship at salary. So I guess that's cool, as long as you aren't particularly attached to your morality or sanity. It's like working at a startup in that they aren't overly good at HR or benefits, but unlike one in that they have never even attempted to provide a service that is new or interesting. Oh yeah, I forgot this was supposed to be the pro section. In the end, the only good part about this job is the people I've met. I won't say who, because it's likely they might suffer from being associated with me at this point--but you know who you are. Please remember that this isn't the only job you can do, there's a bunch out there and you all are very talented.

Cons

First of all, they write some of these reviews themselves, even talked about it right after I was hired--which didn't feel great. I don't think everyone hates working here but no one likes the management style. Not one person. I hope that is clear. If the founder/ceo isn't huffing and puffing around the office and creating a toxic, terrifying atmosphere then he is purposefully bullying people for failing at jobs they were never hired for. In the short time I was here they (they meaning the CEO) ridiculed someone who was struggling and recently fired, publically humiliated employees on a daily basis (including a childish mimicry of an employee's voice during an important meeting), and purposefully lied/misled employees (including myself) about compensation in order to avoid paying the full amount promised at the beginning of the month. They have a weird bonus structure, I can't explain it here, but hopefully you never find out. Very sketchy to say the least. Their turnover rate is insanely high for an office, you won't be here long if you do come along. If you can handle the horrible scams they pull as a part of regular business, more power to you, but I couldn't. Their business model is based on confusing and disorienting people on Facebook to buy their products while hoping just enough of them don't charge it back so that they can stay in business. They regularly sell products that are complete frauds, including an entire shipment of product sold as "car polish" that was anything but. My job was dealing with the poor folk of the US that were either too dumb, old, or intoxicated to avoid coming into contact with this very obvious scam. If you are hired here, it is likely you will be participating in an ever-increasing number of scams. Speaking of, I was hired on as a Content Creator/Customer Support, I did about 3 things that were creative and the rest was slightly editing Amazon reviews about other products to make it seem like it was about their worse version and then waiting for them to paste those all over their FB ads. If that's creative then Donald Trump is a patriot. My time was 90% doing online customer support, which was not even close to the ratio discussed at hiring. But I let it go to keep getting the paycheck. Being asked to do phone support for all of their products was the final straw, however, I had to leave. I couldn't lie to people anymore and I especially couldn't tell some Granny she had to pay shipping to return a product she bought at 500% msrp that wasn't even a real product, to begin with. Save yourself the trouble and only consider this if you are desperate and in trouble. Even then, you might still lose your self respect in the process. I feel better having written this review in an honest way than I have at any point since I was brought on...combined...and multiplied by twenty.

Pros

There is a lot to gain when you work at Quantified Media. You get to work on exciting projects that are mentally challenging. You develop numerous skills that serve you well long after you're gone. You also enjoy the benefits of having great colleagues with a lot of experience and knowledge. The team is treated like family, and everyone is handled with respect. There is healthy competition between colleagues, which encourages self-development. If you are new, you get warm welcomes, and everyone is going to want to help you get properly acquainted with the system. Good friendships are developed and Intelligent minds are rubbed. The work efficiency of the company as a whole is above standard, with top professionals in their fields as employees, excellence is always the delivery of the day, and if you're going to be part of the team, you can't slack. Everyone is prim and proper; projects are taken with serious management regardless of board meeting jokes. QC believes in constant improvement. They always want the new better than the old, there is a daily upgrade in the knowledge and information sector, and personal staff upgrade is also something that never stops. There are always incoming projects, and the office is never idle. The fluidity and interconnectedness is also a quality that would be enjoyed. The pay is sufficient, and there is a lot of transparency between management and employees. There is strong leadership, and the captain always knows how to stir the ship on course. Health insurance and eye care services is a plus when you join the team. Creditable work never goes unnoticed and there are great incentives attached to outstanding performances. The break periods are very enjoyable. Snacks are provided, and everyone relaxes and gets to laugh before work begins.

Cons

They have very high requirements here.

Pros

My time at Quantified Media is not one to forget. I left there with great spirits, lots of lessons learned, and great friends. I have established relationships that would accompany me in this life, and I do not regret joining the company. During the time I was there, I got to meet a lot of people with very strong personalities. Temperaments of different kinds, coming together to achieve success. Everyone at the office is hungry, hungry for the next challenge. It would be really hard for a slacker to enjoy QM. Different kinds of intelligent people with varying cultures and beliefs working together in peace and harmony. That is my favorite attribute of the company. Employers and Employees always kept healthy professional relationships, and there were always funny moments to look back to. When it is time to work, all hands are on deck. Everyone is on their toes, striving to deliver a higher standard than the last task. I learned from colleagues and supervisors who had gone beyond me in my field, also pushing me to increase my self-development. The payment is very satisfactory, and there are neat incentives for a job well done. I always felt like I was part of a large family, every time I went to work. As a member of a closely-knit group, it was like going to a second home with friends that always had smiles on their faces and bosses that gave you zero losses. Any rising negatives were buried before they had a chance to breathe, it was part of the office culture, and it helped create as successful interconnectedness amongst team members. It is a great company with amazing opportunities for anyone wanting to go far in their professional journey

Cons

None, in my opinion, as of now.
