Pros

Management is so busy you can do pretty much whatever you want

Cons

My experience at CK/ DyGen was sub par to say the least. I would rate my time there as being similar to how the guy in “The Human Centipede” felt.... not the one at the front, probably the dude at the end. I was hired into a position & quickly realized the terms agreed upon prior to getting hired were not going to be met. Specifically the structure of teams, account load, and pay. But I continued to be an A employee & grow an existing, plus new portfolios, while simultaneously playing managerial roles with that I was not being compensated for. Upper management openly devalues their employees on the phone with clients & backpedal in conversations that result in the company looking bad, and unnecessary credits. Frequent ethical dilemmas caused by internal issues that would be easily solved if profits weren’t going to Range Rover rentals, $100k+ daily driven vehicles, & unwarranted travel, but we’re here for a good time not a long time, right? HR is a literal joke. Her first reaction was to laugh out of uncomfortably when I discussed issues I was having with my health, and then she went on a tangent about her teenage son whom is having issues in school for a totally unrelated health issue (very confusing scenario). She then proceeded to get defensive, give dirty looks, and elevate her tone while I tried to quit & was explaining that I need to walk away from the company. I guess that is the result of someone who gets put in an HR position that has a cosmologist background. Take whatever help, and hire what who is the most convenient #amiright Words of advice; stop misleading your employees, understand the pulse of your company, actually pay the appropriate parties when accounts come in, don’t wait to make moves until your employees threaten to quit, hire a professional cleaner, and grow the balls to tell your employees to take care of their obvious hygienic issues. It’s so clear the building is way too small for the amount desks & employees crammed in there like some sort of 3rd world advertising factory. Literally employees on top of another, no natural lighting (unless you’re fortunate enough to sit near the windows that are constantly closed), & the florescent lighting is straight out of cell block c on the prisons. Total lack of investment into the comfort of employees & overall care for the space they provide people to work in. I would highly highly doubt anyone who is in ownership of the company would let their personal homes be 1/10th as gross as the office they force their employees to thrive in. Bonus points for expanding into the garage to support growth. Have to give credit where it’s due. If you want quality employees, provide quality work conditions. Cell phone reception sucks, and there’s a lack of phones & rooms to take calls on. You had an employee managing over $500k a month on a computer that can’t load 3 programs simultaneously. A capable SS hard drive is $300. Thats literally skipping out on one those necessary Range Rover rentals one time to make an employee more efficient while they copy and paste their way through life. Budget constrained, asleep at the wheel, or genuinely don’t care about the employees? Not sure which it is, but it’s all bad. Company perks, pubic hair on urinals, dirty water, & over priced vending machine items. Beer on Friday’s is cool, but proper internet connection is cooler. Just because you can wear jorts & flip flops doesn’t mean a company has culture. Weight loss challenges, the stench of 10 year old carpet & Halloween skits are what you can look forward to for company culture.

Laid Back/Start-Up Environment

Pros

Laid back atmosphere, casual environment, friendly employees, easily accessible HR, competitive salaries, typical Monday-Friday schedules. The office manager/executive assistant is so friendly and plans the best little events for the employees in the office (it definitely helps with morale). Overall, it's a really good company to work for.

Cons

Sick days are rolled into PTO/Vacation days so it seems many people are afraid to be out for being sick.

Pros

Marketing entrepreneurial company environment has been a welcome change from rigid corporate structure I came from. This environment is not for everyone (see my con below that consolidation through acquisition comes with some pain), but that means there is opportunity everywhere. I came from a company that had its departments operate in silos, but have had exposure to all different departments since joining Affinitiv. The pay and vacation are good, but I value the experience the most. It is a great opportunity to learn along side a Company in the investment stage of growth, technology, and employees. I don’t view a great job as one that is easy and can count on coming into work knowing exactly what your day will look like because your expectation is the same as the last day. I view a great job as one that provides you experience to better your career. Affinitiv has delivered on that and based on what we have ahead of us, it will continue to deliver.

Cons

The consolidation of the legacy companies was challenging the first 2yrs. There was a lot of confusion on reporting structure and competing self-interests that were road blocks to culture. Fortunately, that is mostly in the past.
