Hustler Hollywood/Flynt Management Group:

Can anyone shed light on what it’s like to work there?

Just got hired there as a web dev. Because they ask all of their employees to come in to their LA office everyday, I’m curious what it’s actually like. When I arrived for my interview, it was extremely quiet. Not a single peep out of anyone. Seemed like everyone was doing work on their PCs, solo. Which is fine. But I don’t understand why they ask people to come in every day.

Also, they originally posted the job @ 134k. I was an idiot — got caught off-guard — when during the third interview with the CFO, he asked “what is the LOWEST you’ll take.” I said: “I thought the position rate offered was 134k; (pause) but I suppose I would take $120k at the lowest.”

Now, they’re locking me in at that rate — 120k — and won’t budge. In fact, when asked (by my recruiter) if they could meet me halfway or come up a little more, the CEO herself, apparently, said “absolute firm no.” I realize a job is a job — in this difficult job market — so I’m appreciative. However, FMG seems like an “eh” place to work — just judging by how they treat employees (paying a web dev $57 an hour in this climate is pretty bad; especially if you’re asking them to come in every single day. Was getting higher than this rate even 6 years ago) and how seemingly useless the office part of the job is.

Basically looking for *something* good about FMG. Not too much about the workplace life on the internet anywhere.

I'm not sure, but hopefully your first impression hasn't be an indicator of things to come. It sounds like there are a couple of red flags that have gone up so far. Maybe a bit micromanage-y. I hope the 120k was at least a step up from what you were making before but so sorry they did that to you! Companies can be so shrewd about negotiating salaries and making people feel uncomfortable to ask for what they really deserve, or the top of the salary band.
