The Escape Game reviews

Cameras pointed directly at employees (but I was assured nobody was watching them...whew), no walls/cubicles, pledge an oath to their deity while reciting their values, and they talk trash about former employees in group meetings, saying they were the worst hires they ever made... I guess I'll be on that list. 35+ employees in HQ, very limited diversity, particularly among male employees. The manager is young and green, knows surprisingly little about digital marketing but insists on changing things that don't need changed because he doesn't understand any of it. He's effectively just a cheerleader, in my opinion. UTM tags weren't properly applied when I got there, but he insisted that, despite the fact that he was running the campaigns before my arrival, it wasn't his fault that the UTM tags weren't on correctly. He also didn't keep a pacing document and couldn't give average CPA for the previous quarter when asked, so there doesn't seem to be any structure to what you might call his approach, but he wants to make decisions, nonetheless. 30-minute lunch is standard, though they were gracious enough to offer that I could take an hour if I wanted... you have to clock out for lunch as a salaried employee, for some reason. Then, the small stuff... Made to read aloud in orientation like a school child, have to make a public task list every day, constant barrage of buzzwords that mean absolutely nothing. Given tasks that were in no way related to digital marketing. In general, I can't imagine how any experienced professional would work here, long term.

Unreasonable workload, not nearly enough compensation for the work expected. Salaried team members are exploited. Horrendous work/life balance for management-- inconsistent leadership and unreasonable expectations. Exploitatively poor pay for anyone under the GM position. AMs and AMits are especially grossly underpaid. A lot of effort goes into cutting staffing costs and hours, making it an inconsistent income for hourly employees. The company takes itself very seriously, which is good but also leads to toxic positivity and exploitative working conditions. Culturally, it's clear that this TEG is run with a strong Christian influence.
