Pros

-Owner willing to share story of how he created his personal wealth -Free coffee; free alcohol on Fridays

Cons

-Often felt mislead. What I was told during interview about future salary expectations and advancement timetable was WAY off reality (i.e. was told all 'closers' make $90,000+ after around 3 months of training, when in reality it took a lot longer to make a lot less than that). -Unprofessional environment. Name-calling, inappropriate remarks about females, verbal spats, etc, can be expected on a weekly basis. -Lifeless day-to-day. The leadership sells the idea to potential employees that Pop Labs is a fun place to work with a lot of potential for growth. But in reality the people in charge are unimaginative...sales meetings are the same week after week. And yes, the leadership travels to conferences and goes to fun events, but outside of booze on Fridays and the occasional happy hour, there isn’t much fun being had at Pop Labs.

Pros

Casual dress attire free coffee ping pong table

Cons

Abusive work environment. Management will verbally attack employees in front of the entire office. Employee work load is outrageous. For example, the employees who oversee client accounts have anywhere from 25 to 35 clients to manage on a continual basis. Other companies who provide similar services give these same level employees 2 - 10 accounts to manage. They will promise employees health insurance, advancement oppotunities, and extensive training, in order to coerce employees into accepting a very low salary. Chances of getting a raise are very minimal.They like to hire young people so they can exploit the eagerness of inexperienced workers by pressuring them to work unaceptable hours while paying them very little. Insanely high employee turnover. New employees do not have enough time to properly learn their jobs before being thrown into the fires left by the many employees constantly quitting. Employees have no time for a social life due to expectations from management to put in a lot of hours. Therefore, coworkers end up spending a lot of time together and dating each other. Some managers rarely come into the office, if they even show up at all. Low Pay - around 30-35K / year No health insurance, and employees are not paid enough to buy individual health insurance.

Pros

Learn the ins and outs of online marketing. Very basic online marketing techniques are taught to SEMs over a week. Start working on clients in a short amount of time.

Cons

Many problems with quality and technology capabilities. Glaring problems with ecommerce products. Very low pay and no benefits. No health insurance, only 5 days vacation, no sick days, and we are all at hourly pay instead of salary.
