Softrock
Copywriter (Current Employee), orlando – May 13, 2013
Pros: free meals, fun coworkers
Cons: benefits and pay are mediocre
I've worked here for a couple years and I've had a good time. It's a standard 8-5 job, but they have a flex schedule that gives you an hour of wiggle room there. They provide free breakfast cereal and coffee, which are fine perks.
There is an hour lunch and our department has potlucks and free lunches from time to time (maybe a dozen or so since I've – more... worked here).
The coworkers are fun, especially on Friday where we play music in the office. – less

Great place to grow
Director of Communications (Current Employee), Orlando, FL – May 9, 2013
Pros: promotions
Cons: parking
SoftRock is a wonderful place to grow and get noticed for you abilities. Just about all of the managers at the company started off in an entry level position and worked their way up, including the company's COO.

Innovative Company - Great place to work
HR/Recruiting (Current Employee), Orlando, FL – May 9, 2013
Pros: good medical benefits, great training, fair compensation, fun culture
Cons: sometimes work weekends
I love working for SoftRock. I am surrounded by the best people and so much creativity and ingenuity. We have a great corporate culture which included a beautiful place to work, free cereal (with milk) for our employees, and lots of extra-curricular activities like flag football and community outreach. It is exciting to work for a company that is not – more... afraid to try new things, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. But, being part of an amazing team that continues to challenge what is and make it better is one of the things I love most about working here. – less

Growing company with a lot of opportunity for advancement
Team Manager (Current Employee), Orlando, Florida – May 9, 2013
Pros: lots of company activities, lunches, sports teams, acknowledgement of accomplishments, birthdays, tenure.
Cons: traffic in the area. not a lot of great places to eat locally
As a new employee, I hadn't heard that much about SoftRock before I went on my interview at the beginning of 2013. But once I got here, it was hard to believe they had kept the company under wraps.

The company is experiencing really fast growth because of the success of the Employment site Gigats.com. That means they are hiring aggressively and promoting – more... internal employees pretty quickly if you do a good job.

As a tech company that works mostly in the web, the workforce is young and fun. There's a lot of energy and a lot of new ideas. There's a pretty constant push to think of new ways to do things.

Benefits and pay have been pretty good, and there are some quarterly bonuses that can be a lot of $$. Many new employees were given an amount of the bonus $$ even though they had only been here for a few weeks.

If you like a fast-paced work environment with a lot of chance for advancement, this is the place for you. – less

Great Place to Work
Search Engine Analyst (Current Employee), Orlando, FL – May 9, 2013
A typical day at work for me is creating reports and analyzing the web traffic. There is always something to do, which is great because the days go by quick and you're never bored. I really enjoy working for my management team, because they have a vast knowledge of the digital medium and are willing to share their knowledge.

Great Company
Communications Department (Current Employee), Orlando, Fl – May 9, 2013
Pros: just about everything.
Cons: nothing i can think of.
Honestly, as I was going through the stars rating, I truly considered each aspect of the company. SoftRock has definitely been generous as far as compensation and benefits. The company culture is tremendous and they really value their employees; from company sports teams to employee appreciation day. Advancement is there if you work hard and have something – more... to offer - I'm proof of that. Management is great at listening to your ideas and pointing you in the right direction. And finally, as far as work / life balance, they are super understanding and flexible with whatever your needs may be. Even working from home is an option! – less

Are We Talking About The Same Company?
Employment Specialist (Current Employee), MetroWest – April 21, 2013
Pros: work from home! free coffee, tea and cereal at the office. nice people to work with.
Cons: cold call center, tiny bathroom stalls and low flush toilets in women's restroom.
I guess this company must have learned from previous mistakes and made a lot of changes since some of these former employees wrote their reviews. 1) They seem very reluctant to fire anyone who sincerely makes an effort. You may have to be re-trained or attend daily sales meetings, but I have seen many employees whose numbers are well below the expected – more... goals and they are still there, week after week. 2) They definitely don't hire "just anyone". The interviewing and screening processes are quite thorough, and the training is rigorous to earn its name-- Boot Camp. But, if you make it through "Boot Camp" (only one person in my group didn't make it, and he quit because he didn't care for it, not because he couldn't do it), you have the skills to make serious money. 3) My Team Manager really cares about me and is always encouraging me, even on the days when nothing seems to be going right. 4) So far, just by meeting or slightly exceeding my goals I have made between $15-$20 per hour for a 40 hour week. That's not bad, but since I know that I am getting better and better with experience I'll soon be making a lot more. 5) The call center might be considered "hot" if you're an Eskimo, but most days I froze my butt off even though I was wearing multiple layers. If I didn't work from home, I think I'd have to invest in a small heater for my cubicle. On the plus side, however, they do have the most comfortable office chairs I have ever sat in. My back pain actually disappeared when I was at work. I was going to buy one for my home office until I priced them on the Internet and discovered that they cost $800! 6) They offer awesome benefits! Heck, the benefits alone would have attracted me to the company: Health, Dental, Life insurance, AFLAC and 12 paid vacation days plus holidays per year. What's not to love? 7) The advancement opportunities are real. All of my supervisors started at the bottom and were promoted quickly (some in less than a year) when they showed that they had what it takes to move up. 8) I get to work from home, yet I have the same opportunity for advancement, benefits and pay as the folks who work in the call center. I live about an hour a way, so I love not having a commute and being able to let my dogs go outside several times per day so that they don't have to "hold it" all day like they would if I had that commute. My cats also love having me around and love to curl up nearby when I'm "at work". 9) You can't sit at home in your recliner watching TV or surfing the Internet while you take calls if you want to be successful, but who really thinks that they should get paid to do that?

If you put in the effort, you will reap the rewards. Some days it seems like you're walking uphill all day, but then the next day it will seem like the easiest job in the world. That's just how it is. If you can't handle it, then the job isn't the right fit for you. I love Softrock and so does my bank account! – less

pretty much a double edged sword.
Employment Specialist (Current Employee), Orlando, FL – February 17, 2013
Pros: flexible schedule, little commuting, home and office environment.
Cons: public interaction, call time, sales pressure
9am-7pm. i learned a lot of sales techniques. Relating to people's situation, building on patience and empathy. Co-workers were online. everyone was upbeat and motivational. The hardest part of the job is the commission. Things i enjoyed about the job are: being home with free food and gas. having a flexible schedule is also a plus.

Very difficult job. Didnt fit my personality
Call Center Representative (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – February 9, 2013
Pros: i liked working at home
Cons: was difficult for me to make as much money as i needed.
Spent the day on the phone trying to convince people who were not interested that they should go back to school.
Days were up to 12 hrs but might only be paid for 6 to 8 because I was only paid for time actually spent talking to callers.

SCAM!!!!
Front Desk (Former Employee), Orlando, Fl – January 8, 2013
This company is a scam. They lie to people and try to get them to sign up for for-profit schools instead of finding them jobs. Scam.

SCAM ALERT!
CSR (Former Employee), Orlando – December 4, 2012
They are just interested in your personal info. so they can sell it to other companies. This is NOT a real job, I repeat..This is NOT a real job. The positive feedback you see on here is all planted by the owners of the company, not real people that work there.

Wisdom – April 20, 2013

It's not a real job? Then I guess I wasted my time working my 8 hour shift today. You know, it's funny, because I guess I wasted the 40 hours I worked last week, too. I guess I'm just lucky that someone direct-deposited the exact amount I would have earned if this was a "real job" in my bank account on Friday. And, weirdly enough, the same thing happened the week before that and the week before that, too. Boy, what a fool I am to have given this company my personal info, because all I got in return is a good-paying job. I guess the original poster didn't get called for an interview and has to make up a reason why in order to soothe his or her hurt feelings.

Lots of growth potential and a great environment
Senior Manager (Current Employee), Orlando, fl – November 27, 2012
Pros: lots of comapny outings and events, fun environment, good pay and room to grow
SoftRock has the energy of a young company but the systems in place that established companies need. I love working here. Looking at the people that I work with and seeing how much we have grown is amazing to me. I have learned more at this company than I have in my others combined.

It's fast paced and only the strong survive but that is the best part. – more... I am a better employee for working here and the skills I am learning will stay with me.

Great culture- people actually want to be here and you can tell – less
