Pros

Decent facility to work at that has lots of space, ample parking and workout facility. There is flexibility in hours for employees and interns (you can come in later in the morning and stay late.) Co-workers are friendly.

Cons

There is absolutely no growth potential because it's a small company and the positions are set. Employees work VERY hard to earn their money and are responsible for sales, marketing, basic website maintenance (html,) technical support calls, paperwork, and much more! The salary and commission structure are not competitive at all.

Sorry that you feel there is no growth potential, we are a growing internet retail company,. Sure were not funded by a billionaire but we have steady self funded double digit growth. We have many 5+ year employees, if salaries weren't competitive I doubt the would have stayed?

Pros

IT Director was an amazing guy and I learned a lot from him. Took this experience and parlayed it into a job making 10x as much.

Cons

The owner is beyond shady and is a slob. They will pay you next to nothing and expect you to develop their entire infrastructure and work 7 days a week. Owner will fire you before 6 months just to not pay unemployment (this was known by everyone). Not cool for kids just getting on their own. He will fire you at the beginning of a lunch which he drove you to so you cannot leave and will see how much you will need his company. Absolutely disgusting loser.

We are sorry for your frustration with your experience while employed at Web Direct Brands, Inc. We pay our employees open, transparent and a competitive rate and comply with federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Florida law rules for minimum wage, overtime, and other wage and hour protections. After completion of a 90 day probationary period, an employee who is let go other than for misconduct, or who resigns with good cause attributable to the employer, is entitled to receive unemployment benefits. Lunch meetings with the president are a weekly part of the upper management improvement process. This particular meeting was to discuss a 6 week exit strategy due to differences in the direction of the company. Letting go of an employee is never an easy decision, it is something that is never taken lightly and should be done privately, for we always strive to end on good terms. We hope that you are successful in your future endeavors.
