Pros

- Mission drive: the organization really believes in helping people with their money - Paid maternity and paternity leave - Staff gets Fridays off before Memorial Day and Labor Day as well as their birthdays

Cons

- Founder still involved and regularly makes unreasonable demands on the marketing department. - The marketing department's culture is broken: Deadlines are unrealistic and bad actors within the department drive down morale.

Given how critical the Marketing team’s role is to our collective success and how important a positive working environment is for your individual success, I sincerely thank you for taking the time to help us improve. In an effort to better understand your feedback and make adjustments as needed, I invite you to speak with our new Chief Marketing Officer, Letha Steffey, and me in-person regarding your experience. However, if you prefer to remain anonymous (which I hope you won’t), I understand and thank you again for your feedback and for giving us insight into how we can improve.

Pros

- great location - nice office space

Cons

I've been very disappointed with my experience at Edelman. Great place to work if you're a planner but it seems that everyone else is treated poorly.

Pros

What I enjoyed about this company was that there is work life balance. You go to work, work your shift and if you needed to go to a doctors appt or request a day off it was very easy as long as there was coverage. Also decent benefits. They also had little perks from time to time like free lunch.

Cons

Where do I start. 1. IF you are a CSA who isn’t located in the corporate office there isn’t much room for growth. 2. I was Physically threatened in the workplace but unfortunately nothing was done about it because the male employee was well liked. It’s very hard to contact someone in HR and management says you can talk to them but when you do nothing is done. 3. They definitely overwork you and try to get more bang for their buck. Instead of hiring more CSA’s they find a few CSA’s that are great at their job that don’t normally complain and give them work that should take like 3 CSA’s to do. 4. The division between planners and CSA’s was noticed. Planners go to their office and don’t even acknowledge CSA’s unless they needed something. Pretty much planners rule the company, at least the ones that do very well. 5. Out of now where they tell us our licenses won’t be sponsored anymore. The CEO at the time pretty much told us ‘ hey if you don’t like it then leave’ in a corporate call .. awesome way to build morale right !? I was Hired with the intention of being able to get more licenses and being able to further my career. At the end of the day this company only cares for themselves and not for the safety of their employees. Don’t trust management AT ALL!
