Pros

Co-workers were great. Very tight-knit group.

Cons

After receiving extremely poor employee satisfaction ratings, the executive team went on an apology tour. They bought some lunches and said a bunch of buzzwords in the hopes that this would somehow fix the problems employees have with them. At no point did they actually say what they would DO to make things better for employees. Nor did they mention any strategy or plan to fix the problem of a declining book of business. They aren't honest with employees and instead opt to just say the word "transparent" to seem like they're being more transparent. Executives don't bother engaging with employees to the point that they don't even know their names. No wonder morale is low. When asked about the status of the company, all we get is nonsensical cheerleading. Anyone can tell they aren't telling the whole truth. They hesitate before answering or give long-winded non-answers that don't address the question. It's obvious they don't think very highly of their employees' intelligence. Maybe they just don't care. As soon as this executive team was brought on, things started going south very quickly. Products that sold well and brought in steady revenue were left to dry up and die. Clients were cancelling in droves because products didn't work and there was no support for them. Salespeople were hired but given no training on the products they would be selling. Experienced employees were either let go without any reason or quit, some even taking pay cuts just to get away. The former CEO assaulted an employee and they let him stay on for another four months after, only announcing his departure as a little blurb in an email. I could go on.

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!
