Too much Hype

Pros

Great culture that resonates throughout the company and the CEO is a driver in that. Good benefits overall, great Time off (3 weeks paid vacation first year) and something they call "FB or Ferris Bueller" days...use them when you need to and shouldnt be any questions asked.

Cons

So let's start with the time off, very generous time off policy however there is always too much work to do so it's like punishment when you take a day off. Very immature culture and immature leadership team-if you are in your mid twenties then its the place to be. Backstabbing, people always looking out for themselves and will slander others if they need to. major Hurdle is lack of Vision, dont know if they are a managed service company or a Tech company and clients are too confused. The Tech is sub par and they are light years behind. I've seen a lot of reviews with folks mentioning the recent lay offs right before the holidays-sometimes you have to do certain things to survive as unfortunate as it was. They grew way too fast and sometimes its better to grow slow then too fast overnight resulting in layoffs.

Sinking ship

Pros

Once upon a time it was a good place to work with smart and supportive people.

Cons

They love to win their "Best Place to Work" awards to hide what's really going on there. They have done three rounds of layoffs in the last year, laying off women on maternity leave, pregnant women, and people that have been there for 10+ years with no notice or explanation. They tout "family values" but have no issue cutting ties with even the best employees in the blink of an eye. They were nowhere near goal last year but put on the front that they're the best in the business. The automation software failed to take off and they're scrambling to find ways to keep afloat. The CEO is completely checked out, too busy ranting on Facebook and Twitter about politics. The executives are all homegrown with no outside experience, leaving them incredibly limited in their skills and strategy. They reorg over and over again to no avail. The lack of revenue speaks for itself.

Good People, But That's It

Pros

Most of the people are great to work with. There will always be a few bad apples, but overall, everyone I have worked with takes the manifesto very seriously. I would call many of my coworkers, friends. Benefits are good: HSA, medical, dental, vision, transit pre-tax, 401k matching, PTO, gym reimbursement Lunch once or twice a week from publisher meetings Flexible with working from home Fully stocked kitchen with healthy snacks

Cons

Executives laid off 30 people back in December due to budget cuts. Many long-term employees (5+ years) have also left within the first few months of 2016. No real understanding from upper management about why the need for more headcount is so dire. Almost every level in POD structure, except for sales is understaffed, leading to unbalanced work hours. It is not out of the ordinary for some to leave for the day before 3pm while the rest of their team continues to work on their business well past 6 or 7pm. Sales team does the least amount of work and demands the most out of their teams. There is a lack of understanding on digital media and Centro process on some teams, mainly from the Sales end. Strategy is dictated by client most of the time, with minimal push back from sales due to fear of stepping on toes or losing business. Handling hundreds of clients while trying to provide so-called "raving fan service" is difficult because there is not enough time. Client demands need to be handled better. The level of service should not be the same for a large and small account. Lack of vision in what the company is and what it wants to become, either a tech company or managed services
