[10] THE BURN WARD (UNFILTERED COMPLAINTS)

* The stark reality of the role, scraped from Reddit, Blind, and anonymous career boards.
"no communication. no follow through. left clients hanging. multiple times without communication. or resolution."
"the job was not what insight represented it to be."
"They don't give raises or offer good benefits."
"Then they hire people who accept a bare minimum salary and they know nothing about the industry or tech plus being here in during the acquisition, its a sink or swim method"
"No benefits and an exceptionally high amount of turnover."
"The CEOs and upper management are compensated very well, while the people at the bottom half are worked like slaves (50 hrs/wk +) and are only paid $28,000."
