Pros

Tons of talent across functional areas, working with really fun products, client list is impressive, benefits are strong, supportive culture from HR, great company history.

Cons

Often trying to boil the ocean with initiatives, lack of clear focus on priorities, not the most progressive / nimble.

Pros

Some genuinely talented, hardworking peers who care deeply about clients despite the lack of leadership support. Exposure to major brands and national programs can strengthen your résumé.

Cons

Leadership lacks accountability, direction, and empathy. HR protects management, not employees. Feedback and expectations change constantly, often with little transparency. There’s no real training or structure, employees are left to figure things out alone, and initiative is often punished rather than rewarded. Travel and workload expectations are excessive compared to compensation and resources. The culture is reactive, political, and emotionally draining. I left feeling exhausted and disillusioned... not from the work itself, but from how people were treated.
