Unprofessional But at Times Fun Place to Work - Clearwater
Pros
Free candy and red bull Birthday celebrations Themed events for special occassions like Cinco de mayo Free money for good sales weeks on a reloadable PEX card Summer and winter parties where everyone parties hard Unbeatable PTO and free health insurance Incentives for sales to do well like gift cards and technology Most people are friendly
Cons
Participation awards are given out every morning at the company huddle - they have a dj and everything and name MVPs ( the same people with similar numbers) They make people play ridiculous games every Friday and often times it feels like it's for the amusement of the execs People are smoking (not just cigarrettes) in the parking lot and in the office - with vape pens - every day Nearly everyone parties and it shows - a lot of people come to work drunk and hungover then go to a local bar down the street (even during work hours) There's no real strategy to the business model - except to inflate the numbers It's trying to be a Silicon Valley workplace with Razr scooters, rap battles, dj booths, and corn hole (other games too) ... but almost every team hates it The President runs around the office intimidating everyone shouting about numbers and birthing brainchild ideas that need to be done yesterday None of the exec team lives in Clearwater - they all commute from different states (Arizona, California, Colorado) on a weekly/biweekly schedule The company (in Clearwater) is run by consultants who show up once a month to check in and do a hip-hip-hurray cheer (and their opinion matters most) Open office seating where HR sits out in the open - also you can't report anything because one of them is an office gossip and everyone will know in about an hour No real sales tactics - they discount everything even though the product is great No room for advancement unless you're just starting out in your career
