Socialistics Reviews

* The contract that you sign is open for them to change the terms of at any time. I signed a contract that allowed me to work from anywhere with 0 travel specified for the role. I ended up traveling 3 times, twice out of state, and when I expressed wanting to work from out of the country like management themselves bragged about doing during my interview, I was told that they "made a mistake" on the contract by including that clause and encouraged me not to. * Management was looking for reasons to fire me for leaving the country, so they literally admitted to asking my clients and former clients for reviews. When none of them said a single bad word about me or my work, they told one client "if you HAD to complain about something, what would it be?" and used that one minor thing to criticize my performance. * They assured us that there would be no layoffs in a team meeting and during my 1:1's, yet 3 weeks later I was out of a job in a country where I knew nobody, with not enough money to get home. Thankfully I absolutely thrived coming out of that situation, but if they had been honest when we asked about layoffs then I wouldn't have been in it in the first place. *The workload was so intense that I became physically sick. When I told management about it, they accused me of not working enough due to poor time tracking (caused by working too much to have time to do it properly) and punted back to me the tasks that I had to reassign to them. After having several jobs since that I've thrived in, I can safely say that the workload on those accounts was absolutely insane and I was never the problem. They also to this day regularly brag about how they were innovative enough to remove time tracking in the agency after being called out for what happened to me.

- Management leads with emotions and has undeniable "favorites." - If the business is doing poorly, the employees are often the scapegoat for the problems or are blamed for things unrelated. - The CEO and manager do not care about you. They only care about the money and the clients. They will throw you under the bus if they feel they can keep a client while making you look like a bad employee. - They ask you to complete tasks they know are out of your capacity. However, they won't compensate you for your time or believe when you say you are too busy. - Management constantly edits the company manual. The employees are not notified of these amendments until someone is fired based on the changes made. Then, the new amendments are used as a "firable offense" for future layoffs. - Performance is not recorded correctly. If you are accused of poor performance, no actual documentation reveals that. - Tenure means nothing. Everything is based on how the company is doing. When the company is doing poorly, management gets distressed and starts micromanaging to a point where daily tasks feel impossible. - Blame is quickly placed on those who are not the "favorites." Blind trust is placed on those who are constantly making the wrong decisions. - They boast about "unlimited PTO and work/life balance." However, you will still receive messages during your time off for "urgent requests" that are not actually that urgent and can be completed by another employee. - During your 1:1 meetings, management will constantly ask you if you're "ready to leave" the company, implying that you want to quit and asking for reassurance that you won't. This creates an uneasy feeling within the employees. - No room for growth, despite them promoting the idea that you have those chances. - Bonuses are never guaranteed. You are required to ask your clients for reviews, and then, based on the quality of the review, you are given a non-tax-exempt bonus. Profit-sharing comes with how well the company does each quarter.
