Pros

Competitive salary, free breakfast and early finishes on Fridays

Cons

Blis was an extremely toxic place to work and with no-one to talk to for support or guidance as the HR team lacked empathy. There was a lot of racial and gender discrimination in the form of office 'banter'. The other reviews mentioning it was a 'boys club' is accurate. Management were distrusting of their employees and showed clear favoritism to those who brought the most sales in. The structure of the company felt like school - senior staff would condescend and punish mid-junior level staff in often humiliating ways. Most of the staff there were unhappy, exhausted and demotivated. Too much focus on making money through unethical and misleading ways and not enough time focused on the well-being of staff and cultivation of a trusting and safe environment.

I head up the Global People team here at Blis and I can confidently say that the culture you describe is not one that I recognise in any of our teams. The People Partners within my own team work hard to regularly connect with all levels of employee through proactive engagement and an open door policy. We also offer a number of external support and wellbeing initiatives. Additionally, our Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Committee is a global cross functional working group who works tirelessly with our CEO to define and execute our DI&B strategy and agenda to move the needle in this critical area. I would like to offer you the opportunity to discuss your concerns in more detail so these can be investigated and addressed.

Pros

Global company Omnichannel vendor Owned now by T-Mobile ( could be a + or -)

Cons

Blind "leadership" in the US has decimated the sales team over the last 14-16 months. Poor sales management in the Midwest is ruled by fear and zero knowledge of the marketplace issues, or acknowledging their own horrible history with holding companies and larger agencies. HUGE RED FLAG New York has not had a full sales team in 3 years and has gone through multiple VPs in this time T-Mobile does not care about Blis or their employees and they are left in the dark If you are a seller, your goals are received late and without true reasoning why the increase Management will not back you because the 3 left in the US are praying and crossing their fingers that they get to join T-Ads or Vistar (owned by T-Mobile) and keep making an outrageous salary, considering overall Billing yearly billing (last 3 years) looks like Black Diamond run at Breckenridge! Marketplace baggage and agency teams are not willing to test or work with you due to the revolving door of management and sellers! Lack of account support, growth or tech advancement related to competitors.
