Pros

Boomtime was quite an experience. Best group of people I have ever worked with.

Cons

No room to grow under the new sales process. Management now has a complete lack of understanding for what this company was supposed to be. The finished product was never delivered on time to any of the clients I sold. The price of the packages kept going up to the point that boomtime can no longer help locally owned businesses.

Churn and burn through employees

Pros

Free downtown parking & ok benefits

Cons

This company still calls itself a startup after years in business. Management needs to quit being so controlling and trust employees to do their jobs. Especially the CEO. People are constantly waiting for his approval on projects then get reprimanded for not completing projects in a timely manner. It's a catch 22. Employee turnover is huge and layoffs and firings are regular occurrences.

Pros

This job is excellent for getting some experience in sales (internal and external), customer service, and understanding corporate politics. You will grow a thick skin as you are taunted, bullied and condescended to by upper management while balancing the demands of your clients who will constantly ask, "Why is the product not delivered on time and why am I being charged?" You will learn the value and benefit of being a 'Yes Man'. You will learn that hierarchy sewage flows down. You will understand the disadvantages of being a woman in a hostile workplace. You will get to see first hand that all this and much more actually exists and is practiced regularly. You will be cured of any delusion you may have about the real world, especially if you are coming out of high school or college. And, in time, you will thank them for showing it to you. Trust me, if you are in need of learning new skills and seeking the answers to where you want to take your career, apply for this job. Boomtime will not help you find that answer, but I promise, when it is all over in 6 months, you will be one step closer knowing that THAT is not what you want to do with your life. That, my friends, is information weaved from gold. Oh yeah!. You also get pretty decent health and dental.

Cons

I really have no cons. Boomtime is attempting to create an amazing product and service for local businesses struggling to afford better marketing avenues. As traditional media becomes more expensive, these businesses will struggle. With Boomtime, businesses can see how effective their efforts are and really take some risk in trying new ideas to get a return on their investment. The CEO has a powerful vision and a profound dream. Sadly, unless you are part of the inner circle, you are nothing but a number in the system. And you are replaceable. So feel free to refer back to the 'Pros' section if you like where this is going. Simply put, if you want to go far, you better learn to play the game. Also the employees are terrible at doing their dishes. It's just disgusting.
