Pros

I won't even list the free coffee on here because in 2018, that should be a given. I think the unlimited PTO, or "My Time" as they are calling it, is probably the one and only pro I can think of at the moment.

Cons

Where to start? False promises. These have become standard around the office. A constant promise for opportunity and career growth backed up by nothing but a few promotions given to people who were already in management, or that tell management what they want to hear; a suck up if you will. So, work as hard as you can, do a great job, get told you will get to a new position and just throw that in the trash because it doesn't really matter. If you can't deliver on your promises, just don't make them in the first place. Recognition? What's that? Not here. Manage to do a good job with a flawed product and systems that don't work half the time and get nothing in return. Not even a job well done. Forget a raise. That would be out of the question regardless. The only thing a job well done gets you around here is MORE WORK. Lesson learned: Do a bad job so they won't hand you more work to do. Not Enough Resources: Most of us weren't properly trained and were thrown into a job and expected to pick up the pieces. Most of us waste hours of the day trying to figure out who knows the answer to what questions all the while coming to the conclusion that NO ONE knows the answer to your question. If you would like to be trained on the job you are expected to do, I suggest you look elsewhere. The company prides itself on transparency, saying that they are an open book, any question is fair game. Actions speak louder than words and I have yet to actually SEE some transparency take place, but I have definitely heard a lot of talk about it. You want to be transparent? Tell us why you fired half the staff and what the 5 year plan is for the company. I have a feeling 5 years is too long of a time frame for this company. Lastly, there is a huge misunderstanding between the field sales team and the internal teams. Message to sales team: we work WITH you, not FOR you. Show some respect for the people who are trying to help you. Don't demand things, politely ask for them. I promise you it will get you what you want a lot quicker and it will make internal employees a little happier to come to work everyday.

Pros

I worked at Affinitiv for nearly four years and truly enjoyed my time there. I originally supported two teams under the leadership of Kyle Dimitris and Candice Pifer before being full time under Candice with the Connectiv Prospect team. Candice was an exceptional manager, she genuinely cared about our team not only as employees, but as individuals. She made an effort to connect with me on a personal level, which made me feel valued and supported throughout my time at the company. Her transparency and honesty fostered trust, and during periods of uncertainty, she provided a strong sense of stability and reassurance. Our new CEO, Sharon, also made a positive impact by holding monthly company-wide meetings. These regular updates helped me feel more informed, confident, and secure in my role compared to previous leadership. I appreciated her openness and willingness to share insights about the direction of the company. Overall, Affinitiv is a great place to work, and I am grateful for the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

Cons

Affinitiv could improve its compensation structure. When compared to similar roles at other companies, salaries are not always competitive. Additionally, the PTO policy could be enhanced by allowing unused days to roll over, which would provide employees with greater flexibility and work-life balance. I also think they need to improve on their maternity leave policy. They only provide "maternity leave" through short-term disability and you do not receive full pay for the 8 weeks they give you.

Pros

No pros I can think of---this company doesn't even deserve a one-star rating!

Cons

There have been more than four mergers since I worked there in early 2000---from Autobytel to One Command to Auto Loop. Every merge was worse than the one before. The workload in the graphic department was abusive and never-ending. Work kept coming beginning Sunday afternoon and during weekdays I had to stay in the office for more than 12 hours. Management kept checking on me to make sure I had work every single minute. Never had time to go out to lunch and never had downtime. I was so busy that sometimes I didn't even have time to go to the restroom! To save money, they didn't even hire a coworker to work with me so I could never take any vacation or sick day. I WAS WORKING THE WORKLOAD OF FIVE TO SIX PEOPLE BUT NEVER GOT A SALARY RAISE. Can you believe that!!! The workload was brutally overwhelming and I was extremely stressful and I had TMJ (jaw) infection from this job. The job duties occupied all my times and I didn't get a chance to go for treatment but only on the weekend. This job is physically and mentally dreadful and it gives you no life and work balance!
