SocialRadius Employee Reviews for Account Coordinator

"If you have no other choices, go for it."

What do you like about working at SocialRadius?

"Telecommuting was the only perk to this job, which is great for people who live far away. Employees are expected to use their own computers and phones. There is an office available (that no one ever uses) if you need quiet space to work."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Nobody gets hired without an internship, so be prepared to work for a month and get $500."

What don't you like about working at SocialRadius?

"Management is not willing to listen to any new ideas. There is no job description provided ever- but if something doesn't get done be prepared to take the responsibility for it. Pay is ridiculously low. Basically $10 an hour, but since it's salary you could be making even less! It's clear there aren't that many positions available for full time hire, and the word around the water cooler is that promotions rarely happen. Insurance doesn't kick in until after 3 months- not counting that internship!"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Pay your people if you expect them to work long hours . If you expect your employees to be formally educated and have experience, pay them a little more than the kids you hired from a Craigslist ad. Be crystal clear about what you want from employees. This was the first job I ever had with no formal description of what expectations management had. Also the owner seems very preoccupied with parties focused around conferences rather than the company itself."

"Good learning experience"

What do you like about working at SocialRadius?

"The online PR business allowed us to work from home, which was convenient. There was minimal training and supervision, which meant we had to learn a lot on our own."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"This is a good first job if you need to hone your PR skills, but there's not enough growth within the company. There are really high turnover rates and the only decently-compensated employees are the executives who make 6 figures."

What don't you like about working at SocialRadius?

"We were compensated poorly (starting position required a college degree and paid in the 20's) and had to use our own computers, phones and Internet. The company only had one paid subscription to an online database, otherwise, we had to use all the free tools."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Properly compensate your employees to avoid high turnovers. Provide the resources necessary for the job and have a review system where you can listen to employee issues."
