Working at mUrgent — Reviews by Employees

Employees, you will find favoritism here just like everywhere you go in corporate america. murgent is not exactly an ideal place to foster your career but sure is a nice place to make some easy money and go home on time. Owners are nice people with good passions, but numerous complaints have been made against the father - WB for sexually harassing female workers...

Financially, I would be very cautious about dumping your hard earn cash, and yes people from management have been telling everyone inside and out they will be going public for years!... a recent SEC investigation has led to restriction on offering security to the public.

Bad, bad, bad

I just get laid off for not making enough sales. I see what the guy is saying below... but I know who that is and he is just another pissed guy who couldn't make any sales. Plus, I KNOW YOU!!! You got caught hitting on all the woman, got turned down and is now just upset. I'll leave your name out. The company is just fine... no SEC, No hassles.. they are the hardest working people I can honestly say I have ever worked for. Extremely fair and are just trying to build a company. Like any company, the one's who got let go are going to vent, lie and do whatever it takes to hurt the company. I ddidn't like getting laid off.. but I can honestly admit that the cmopany is AWESOME!! I hit my 10 accounts a few months in a row.. got paid really good... but I also knew what the pay was.. what the rewards were... I never bitched and complained.. my sales supervisor was good.. I listened to him and made money! Those who didn't .. didn't make money and now are on job vent.. POOR BABIES!! CRY CRY CRY CRY CRY. The company is great. Try working there.. lost of potential. Lost of vision. Lots of great things going to happen. I wish I was still there :( Thanks for the good time, mFriends.

Attention, the SEC (Securities and Exchante Commission, federal regulatory agency) is investigating this company. mUrgent has been telling investors it plans to go "public" for years. It contacts existing investors and attempts to "reload" them with discounted stock. The sales people use the "urgency close"....better get in now before the big boys take over, we plan on entering the public arena, the NASDQ, final quarter of this year or first quarter of 2011. It does not seem likely, some investors have been told this for years. It seems that some of them have had enough and contacted the SEC. Buyer beware!

After reading the people's comments about this place.. I to would like to add some oil to the fire.

SURE...mUrgent did have some good points in a way...talking to your customers was always fun and some people are pretty cool there to talk to and hang out with but this was the "ONLY" benefit!!!

These people need to be SUED out the WAZOO for all of their unlawful work ethics and sleazy trash that fly's about in the air at will and is ALLOWED.

Let me just spell it out for you shall I?

Pay:

LOL ... the pay was fucking lame! I can't say to sure for the other departments but I used to do the small sales gig....

THEY reel you in at $12 dollars a hour and promise after 90 days, you get paid a considerable amount more about 16-18....then after 90 days they say...No, you haven't been consistent in your sales and you need to get 3 a month for a consecutive amount of months to "get" your promised raise.

EVEN had it on paper when I first was hired saying I would recieve "this" amount of money after so many days.... so fine. I didn't get my promised raise. BUT I knew someone who was getting consecutive sales and that person didn't get a raise either!

This company is so full of shit it's demoralizing.

They have a bonus system too... a person..if they got 10 sales a month got a good whopping nice bonus.
HE did get 10 sales that month... on the VERY last day of the month to.

Did he get the bonus? NOPE... BILLING just then said...today we have changed the rules and you can't get the bonus because it went past the billing cycle.

That's not how it's advertise...that's not the lies and bull shit they tell you. "They probably say it now" but the rules always CHANGE when it's "convenient"

Respect:

Wait.. what?? Respect? I sure would like to say there is respect in this company but it's all a bunch of farce as they feed your sugar coated tales about how they represent high work ethics and this crap and that....

IT was absolutely DISGUSTING to see how my boss would say "If you are making the sales...then you will get the warm/hot leads that come in directly into the company because you deserve them."

"Make the sales and you'll get the sales" (by the way.. this job is cold calling)

Warm and hot leads are people actually not being cold called but are calling the company directly to want to sign up. (easy as pie sale)

THEN you walk by his office while he's talking to his favorite person (even though he never made sales unless they were hand me downs that he didn't botch up

"I just got this call in brother, I half way closed him for you, you know what to do with the rest"

He even said outloud on the floor to this guy saying Hey man.. got another sale to give to you right in front of everyone!

The unfairness and outright rudeness of it is appalling..if ya gonna give someone a hand me down... for christ's sake.. use some damn brains to at least "keep" it a secret yah?

Benefits:

Working with ur co-workers was the only benefit... there are no benefits to this company. Also, did I tell you how horrible this place is if you are a woman?

Walter hits on anything that's somewhat skinny and nothing that dangles in between the legs! He told someone "you need to come into work and dress more sexy" WORD for WORD QUOTE!

You'll see guys "in the" work place telling disgusting sex jokes out loud for everyone to hear and the investors relations teams are the worse about it.

They take a liking to you and try to slide their oily disgusting hands all over you...and u can hear the guys talking about the strip clubs they've gone to if you dare so walk towards their direction even.

I'm so shocked this place hasn't had a lawsuit yet...(probably did but was brushed under the carpet)


Job Security: This place is not Secure for any "of the departments" unless you work over at the department that was located in a different area away from their home office that's above a REHAB clinic.

By the way, some of your co-workers will sometimes be buzzed out cuz they deal with the rehab kiddies and buy ... delectables from them

Work/Life Balance:

We all were encouraged to go Canvasing for new sales/job opportunities in our off time...for free. We wouldn't get paid.. no gas compensation but if you didn't do this..you would find yourself easily fired if you couldn't make the mimium sales quota.

Career Potential/Growth:

If you can suck ass and dick.... REALLY WELL .. and you're a woman. You'll do alright here!

Location:

Again...Love to see drunk/over the hill and high co-workers coming back in from lunch...it was somewhat funny in a way as well as disgusted at how this was allowed.

There's a knoll woods down the street and several people would go there and buy beer during lunches.

Co-worker Competence:

NOW they are not all bad... mUrgent loves to fire people who have brains and hire people are fucking stupid cuz it's easier to control them that way... oh oops.. we got a smart one here. Coulda fooled us! *KICKS* out the door.

Work Environment

Sexual harrasment is rampant here along with severe favoritism if you're in the sales, big or small, and investor relations, they definitely don't go out of their way to hide it either... client services also but it's not as bad.

I BELIEVE the only FUN department here would be the IT and graphics department. But I wouldn't reccomend it still none the less.


Overall rating.... -90 (Left a 10 for the cool peeps that work there still... hopefully)

DO NOT WORK HERE!!!!

I still work at this company and have been for two years now. I have worked for a lot of companies and have not had this kind of enthusiasm and vision anywhere. Those that call it a disaster or whatever were probably fired and are just venting, as most kids do. This company kicks it into high gear and when I go outside and talk with others they are excited to be here. I can tell those below that wrote stuff that worked here (at least one) no body liked them and they were very negative, so i can see why they would lie and vent to try to ruin the company. that just why i'm glad this place gets better and more energetic about success each day. all employees are soo nice and will help you with everything, including fixing my car on a weekend. they make it fun, entertaining, cool atmosphere that just makes you want to come every morning. to those that lie and bash the company I'm glad your gone and have nothing to do but spread rumors on this site, which shows your character and why we are glad you are not here anymore. long live the M and everyone here that has made it the best place i've worked in ten years. bravo

Well, I'm not sure if the person who wrote "mUrgent is SPAM" is the person I think it is, but, believing that this is someone that I had truly tried to befriend and always had a listening ear for her.... {in return I got a great big (literal), "FUCK YOU"} ...... I wouldn't take into consideration ANYTHING that she says.

She is really screwed up in the head!

THIS COMPANY IS DESTINED TO FAIL! The people they have in leadership positions are the complete opposite of those you would normally see in leadership...completely unqualified. They over-promise, under-deliver. You'll be sold on how they're gonna go public and provide stock options, but it'll never happen. They'll also lie about what you'll be paid. The COO told my department they need $50 million to go public. If I had $50 mil to invest, after a day of research on this company I wouldn't give them a dime. Employee morale is nonexistent due to the fact that they are not treated with any respect whatsoever. If you do find yourself working for this company, take comfort in the fact that most "regular employees" are some of the coolest people you'll work with. Other than that, you'll all be hating life together Mon - Fri, 8-5.

The CFO is a selfish, dirty old man. "Run, run to me. I want to see how you look when you run." That would be something he said to a female employee, and that's only 1 of thousands more. He also thinks we make too much despite the fact that you could make more money in retail. He apparently has enough money to buy a new Lexus, Jaguar, Mercedes, fish tanks and season seats to baseball games, but not a penny for his employees. And if the company did go public, I'm convinced he would take the money and run. Of course, not after picking up a few unlucky female companions with some of his new dollars.

No matter how loud you voice your opinion to management, you will not be heard. They take your advice and put it in the same place they keep their intelligence...in the crapper.

You'll also receive no benefits of any kind, except medical but even that's expensive. I was paying $80 a month with no dependents. At my new company I pay $24 for pretty much the same plan. So if you like no sick or vacation pay, expensive medical and pretty much everything bad you could hope for in a company, go work for mUrgent. And remember, EMPLOYEES COME FIRST!

Hey mUrgent, 90% of your employees hate their job, you should look into it...or you could just ignore it. You guys are not mAazing by any stretch of the imagination.

p.s. I really wanna say so much more, but since I don't work there anymore I don't care.

One of the worst companies to work for...can't wait to get the hell outta here.....don't work here....
