MarketCounsel Reviews

Majority of all 4 or less star reviews are pretty accurate in terms of cons. As you may noticed, that majority of all 5 star reviews are from part-time school interns, or from current/former employees that were posted within 3 days of each other. Which was to help raise their low, realistic, star level. My Cons: - I've seen 25+ people leave the company within 2 years. Which sometimes result in chaotic confusion within the company. - Every aspect of the company is micromanaged by upper management (COO & CEO). Expect major delays in every decision. - Favoritism is very big with upper management. - The company has a sink or swim mentality, If you can't keep up with the work that is delegated or dropped upon you, then you will sink and don't expect upper management (COO & CEO) to throw a life vest. - Constantly changing company policies, with little to no notification. - The "HR department" is outsourced. - Very small number of sick/vacation days, in comparison to other companies. - Expect your work life intervene with your personal life. "Office hours" are 9-6, but expect to put in extra hours EVERY week. All company events or outings take place outside of work hours, with some even being mandatory. You'll even get pressured to have your company email on your personal cell phone so you can work more when you're home. Also expect text messages from upper management (COO & CEO) at unreasonable hours, for something that can wait till the next business day. - The training is quick and covers only about a third of what you need to know. - On several occasions upper-management has lied and/or thrown their employees "under the bus" to save themselves.

Strict corporate culture. High turn over. They treat people like dirt. Hours are 9-6 with overtime every week and paid salary. 8 holidays a year; the lowest I've ever seen. Litigation department is a mess. I was reprimanded like a child in front of others. Management is demeaning in their communication. Training is bad. They hand you all this training material that is out of date and wrong instructions, then they get mad at you when things go wrong, and are unwilling to be helpful. They use salesforce for managing deadlines not effective for litigation. Paperless for litigation. They make promises they don't keep. Not everyone gets a bonus after a year of hard work. They have no HR department. I received scathing emails regularly from managers This only slowed down the work flow. Not a generous company at all. This company is flourishing but they don't take care of their employees.
