Pros

There are often free drinks during the events, and the office hours don't usually begin until 10:30, but that doesn't really matter because you WILL be contacted a trillion times beforehand. Located in Flatiron, which is pretty nice area.

Cons

The management are absolutely horrible. Tiny salaries with no room for growth or commission. I got a $500 bonus for Christmas after working an average of 70+ hours a week. I would have preferred nothing, since it was just a slap in the face.

Pros

You quickly how much pressure you can endure.

Cons

- Entry-level pay barely reaches minimum wage despite long hours and constant travel in an expensive city - Management talks down to staff and watches employees struggle without stepping in - Bullying behavior is ignored or tolerated, even when witnessed by managers - No real support system or sense of culture exists - Work-life balance is nonexistent - Employees are blamed for problems outside their control and left to handle the consequences alone - The atmosphere feels isolating and oppressive, with constant tension and stress - Overwhelm is treated as weakness rather than a real concern - Emotional safety is absent, with public criticism and zero accountability - Trust in leadership quickly erodes - Stress and frustration follow you home long after the workday ends - Mental and emotional strain from the environment lingers, causing lasting harm - Compensation is insulting given the demands and personal sacrifices required This role leaves a deep impression of exhaustion, mistrust, and emotional drain, making it a place that is difficult to survive in and impossible to recommend.
