Pros

People / culture: Young work environment, most individuals are straight out of college. Managers are promoted from within. For the most part, they hire amazing people across the entire organization. Career advancement: You have the opportunity to advance your career at your own pace depending how aggressive you are.

Cons

Pay: biggest con, low pay that does not reflect amount of work involved. New business development employees work off of a draw in sales (meaning you owe the company your salary until you make enough commission to cover your salary). Entry level account manager's pay is not sustainable to live in NYC. Upper management: There is a very small management team overseeing entire sales force of over 400 individuals across the world. They are often brash and short sighted when making decisions. There is a Lack of professionalism. Favoritism is often picked by how hard one can party. Work / life balance: There is a lack of work life balance. At the most recent sales conference, upper management had a presentation on how younger individuals should forgo work life balance and to push themselves while they had less responsibilities in life. Industry: saturated industry. small margins In general, I have learned a lot from my time there. Those who have left with me have all agreed that TPT has set them up for success at their following job as a top performer. However, I would not wish the stress and pressure on anyone given low pay, would not recommend this company as a place to work for any of my friends.

Pros

The work isn't too tough. The people in the office are skilled and pleasant. There are decent benefits and you can work from home for 2 days.

Cons

The pay is bad. Decent for when you first start but raises are small and infrequent. Bonuses are even smaller and more infrequent. We were fully remote but slowly have been forced back into office for no good reason.
