Pros

You learn a lot on the job which is great especially if you are new to the ad tech industry. Team members are very helpful and are the ones who really train you on the job. Mid-level management is very resourceful, understanding, and really want you to succeed. Depending on your team, managers are usually good with flex time and will generally give approve PTO always (which is unlimited!).

Cons

Communication between departments could use serious improvement. Deadlines are thrown at people within days notice when the queue is already backed up, which makes some people have to work late or weekends. Or on the contrary, deadlines will be set on a certain date months/week in advance and will be pushed back for months to make room for other projects. Need to find a way to better organize and have better employee retention so project deadlines are met. Departments push different changes on a project/vertical and won't tell each other about it, which is really gets really confusing when things go wrong. also there's a lot of reports to do (that nobody really reads) which is a huge time waster.

Pros

I don’t feel like there’s pros anymore because the previous owner sold the company to make a lot of money and leave a mess for the employees

Cons

First of all $12 an hour is not enough to support a family , there’s never a raise and commission sucks , they always find ways to steal money from agents , you have to sell over 100 sprint cellphones to make a decent commission which is almost impossible because their leads sucks , other than that you will have some cheap benefits , you barely get time off and their health insurance is a joke , they make you pay $55 every pay check for health insurance for yourself only , now they’re starting to make everybody feel micromanaged because you always have someone on top of you telling you what to do even when you’re exceeding your sales goals! Best advice I can give you , don’t work at this place , it’s preferred if you avoid this place , third party vendors only care about making money themselves and they don’t care about your effort or well being , this might only be good for single young kids with no responsibilities

Pros

I actually worked in a group that knew what they were doing and was able to contribute as an actual team. This was one of the best teams I was able to work for. Very productive and fast in getting assignments and answers done while we waited for the other side to get us what we needed, but we had to fight with the inexperienced team across the country and teach them how to manage the FLOW of things. Communication is important. Apparently L.A. left out their testbed step child.

Cons

Wow, after buying us last year they had no idea what they were getting into. Such a learning curve for them they broke connections all over the place and they wonder why it took so long to get things done. Making changes in a production environment is the number 1 entry level rookie mistake you could ever make. And they wonder why they lost so much money. Because L.A.s non-communication skills and interruptions should not reflect the outages in the Plantation office. In L.A . they're rated so highly but this Plantation office Buyout became a test bed step child sandbox. The culture between the two companies is VERY DIFFERENT and to understand a production environment like this takes a lot of planning and maintenance. The excuse they made in the conference room about miscalculations is disappointing. The way the whole group was exited was demeaning. LA touts all the benefits they have in their home office but they haven't invested in the Plantation office inner workings. Maybe they should cut back on some of their expenses and focus on their employees before they make any more miscalculations. Hearing about all the trips and amenities they expensed could have saved jobs. Overall, don't bother as they laid off the key people who actually plugged the holes in a sinking ship that's now pointing up. This place was better before the buyout.
