Pros

I like the people I work with and the location is close to trains and restaurants. The building is also nice.

Cons

Jeff Conlon and Beth Hollenberg have a Dysfunctional work relationship. They argue and fight weekly very loudly. They behave unprofessionally and it scares people. We hear the screaming of cursing bombs, doors slamming and chairs being broken. They have put fear in us. I can hear them talking negatively about people who work here. That means other people hear it too. They are out of touch with employees and no effort to know us. No one ever sees Jeff and when we do he looks the other way. He doesn't acknowledge underlings. Beth Hollenberg threatens to fire people. She intimidates and embarrasses for fun. She makes up false stories in her mind about employees and runs with them even if there is nothing to support it. A couple of employees have tried to reach out to the board. The investors need to intervene and talk with us. Beth Hollenberg is running this company into the ground. No one wants to work for a person like her. Jeff Conlon is clueless or doesn't care. They are both in it for the money. I have overheard her say that she will get rich off this company when it's sold. It comes as no surprise that they only care about more clients and fewer people to do the work. There are plenty of job openings that she won't fill in order to save expenses. We don't have HR or Legal. What company doesn't have an HR person who we can talk to about concerns or a confidential number to express issues. Beth Hollenberg talks negatively about ex employees like it makes her look better and it doesn't. The biggest issue is that clients do not respect Beth Hollenberg. They would rather not tak to her EVER. This is a problem! Many of us are keeping files on what is happening. It's only a matter of time before a lawsuit is filed on the treatment of certain people, how Jeff Conlon belittles and swears and Beth Hollenberg goes on a witch hunt on people. It is all in writing. This is not a stable workplace. If you care about this compan and your job email investors. I am afraid of retaliation so I changed my writing style. How it is written is on purpose. This is sad but true.

Pros

The best boss I’ve ever had was at this job. I love that the job is mostly remote, but there are some in person opportunities. I always felt supported and fairly compensated.

Cons

We’re required to come in twice a month. I wish it wasn’t a requirement, just strongly encouraged.

Pros

Nice office, free coffee and snacks Work From Home Stepping Stone Some nice coworkers

Cons

Terrible work-life balance Will have you managing a huge account, almost basically on your own, and your managers (plural) will either be so burnt out that they cannot help you or so obsessed with looking good for the CEO that they disregard you and pile on more work Layoffs (twice in a calendar year now), where they’ll move the extra work to an already burnt out team Low Pay, Laughable Raises No place for growth Pushes to complete the “Chicago Great Places to Work” survey with positive remarks because that’s one of the only things making them look good to new hires
