Pros

They want to be more than just a PR shop and offer digital and potentially be an AOR for certain clients. Ambitious company.

Cons

Leadership isn't committed to reaching its goals. Typical profit first mentality at the expense of the people. Constant layoffs in search of a better bottom line.
