Pros

Good training, throw great parties, cool HQ building

Cons

They micromanage, they put you on action plans when you don’t need them but come up with a reason, they require you to come onsite because they know it’s miserable to only work on 1 project at a time from home, the same people (tenured) go on trips every single year while the young grinders stay back and barely pay bills due to the very low salaries/comp plan (because again, the owner throws sick parties and overpaid on a HQ building), the company will hire 15+ per class and lose half the group within 2 months, favorites are picked whether you like it or not, your Manager is probably teams’ing bad things about you, your friends will get fired and walked out the same morning (however they’ve never laid a single person off in 24 years.)

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, though we are disappointed to hear that it was an unpleasant one. Culture is very important to us at Eight Eleven Group, which is why we strive to create a welcoming environment where all our employees feel empowered to do their best. One such example of this is our employee-led connection groups, joined together based on common backgrounds, identities, or interests to provide a safe space for conversation and development. We recognize that the culture we seek to cultivate may not be a fit for all employees. We also appreciate your honesty regarding the earnings potential of our employees. Is every employee who steps through our doors wildly successful? Unfortunately, no. However, we are proud of the fact that our base salary plus commission structure has allowed a significant number of our employees to create a strong financial footing for themselves (and their families) so early in their careers. If you have any additional feedback or suggested improvements, please email us at success@eightelevengroup.com as we are always trying to better ourselves and the experiences we offer.
