Pros
The office is dog-friendly.
Cons
This is absolutely the most toxic and unhealthy environment you could ever work for. If I could go back in time, I would never work here and if you are considering employment at Capitol Debate, I cannot emphasize enough how much you should reconsider. At Capitol Debate, you are fully dispensable as a human being. This company will work you to the bone. Due to the stress of regularly working 80+ hours a week with NO overtime pay, many employees had health issues ranging from anxiety attacks to migraines and more. There are NO opportunities for promotion and the management cuts corners at every opportunity. As an example, one hourly employee (who has since quit), was literally flown home from a camp because the CEO of the company did not want to pay for them to work that week. Other employees regularly worked at 6 am or until midnight. On popular signup days, employes are often asked to work until 8 pm with no additional pay AND work as salespeople despite this not being your job. Additionally, one very important thing to note is the enabling that goes on with the COO of the company. The COO regularly interacts with underage campers on his own personal instagram, despite this being against company policy. He was also found in the room of underage campers at midnight and had an investigation conducted against him by the campus police. Despite this, he still continues to work for the company, causing many employees to quit in protest. This should be extremely disturbing to both employees and parents. Overall, my advice would be to get as far away from this company as possible. This company causes parents to be traveling for 6 weeks at a time, missing valuable time with their children and partners with no regard for employees. Most of the employees are kind and hardworking people who are fully getting taken advantage of and are regularly having stress breakdowns as a result of Capitol Debate.
