Pros

Literally not one single thing good to say about this place. It was a complete waste of time, effort, and energy! I really wish I had something better to put here because I wanted to like Mark and James so much when I started. If you currently work here, I suggest waiting to write your review until after some time (if you make it past a month or 2 of course). They want you to write a review immediately because they’re trying to increase the positive ones to offset the negative. The earlier you review them, the more likely you are to include some positive things like snacks and coffee and nothing in the negative because at first they’re trying to woo you before they treat you like garbage. Typically by the first week you’ve seen the negative side of things but of course they want a review on day one and start harassing from then about it.

Cons

As other reviewers have mentioned, this place is a terrible environment with a lot of arguments from management about the most petty things. The fact that they’re claiming ALL the negative reviewers to have been “terminated” is an utter lie to try and “protect” their image which they’ve deeply tarnished. This many negative reviews can’t be all lying about the environment and experience we’ve had. As if somehow we’re coordinating what we say even though none of us have met or worked here at the same time. This should be a big indicator of what’s to come if you join this office sadly. There’s no structure or system in place, making it extremely difficult to get organized in the office and keep a steady workflow. Pay is also lacking as it’s way below industry standards for this type of work and workload.

Pros

Great team, lots to learn, really nice office, fun group of people!

Cons

Working for a small company means sometimes having to do more tasks than at other jobs but the rewards are always staying busy!

Thank you so much for the kind words. We treat everyone here with importance and respect because in a small company, everyone counts. Thanks again! Mark Turkel

Pros

Boses take 2hour lunches. You can go to yoga class and back and they wont notice. I did it daily after 5 weeks of no paychecks.

Cons

All negative reviews are very true. They are real. Mark harasses employees to write good reviews on social media and job sites for the company. These people will lie to you while smiling. They don’t pay you for weeks and keep lying about it. The environment is toxic with the constant bickering and awful language between the owners Mark and James. Their partner Rick is a dangerous volatile & violent person, also extremely under qualified leadership skills.

This review was from a very angry person with many personal problems. After trying our best to make this person happy, finally terminated her, as we found out she was taking 2 hour yoga classes on our payroll. We spend a lot of time out of the office because we're consultants, and we have to trust our employees to do the right thing, even when nobody is looking.
