Pros

- Those who I did work with on a regular basis were wonderful people and I learned a lot from them

Cons

- Higher-ups do not care about professional growth for entry-level employees - Felt blindsided and misled during layoffs due to covid19 - Hiring process is absolutely horrible... It took 2 months from initial phone interview to receiving an offer letter - My direct report changed 3 times because there was internal "restructuring" - Toxic environment - Not paid enough in comparison to workload

Pros

Made some great friends and appreciated working with some well known (although in some cases dying) brands. Pay was pretty good too. The fact that there could be upside was a good carrot.

Cons

Sold the dream of the sky's the limit and that thinking big in both ideas and execution will get you ahead. Unfortunately this is not the case - only family, and "friends of family" get ahead. Even if you bring in a lot of money, they will steal your deal and shun you. I have seen them use employees for their contacts, fire them, and then take the credit for the ongoing deals. On the brand side, I have seen some executives act unprofessional towards partners and vendors with full support of leadership allowing them to act that way. If you have a soul, it can uncomfortable to be in the same room. There is no vision, no mission, and no values. Tons of abusive meetings where leaders feel entitled to bully employees.
