Pros

Stable company with lots of good people

Cons

Literally the worst compensation in the industry, would be higher at any other company. Field marketing reps work 20+ hours more a week than your average associate, but treated like Joe Schmoe employee and receive little support. No budget, so using that industry worst wage to personally purchase company swag to give to assigned agencies.

Pros

Great corporate culture. Management who is knowledgeable, flexible, and reasonable. They really treat you as a complete person.

Cons

Honestly, none. I’m given all the tools to do the job and the freedom and flexibility to never feel stifled. I guess a 4 day work week would be nice?
