Pros

None that I can think of. Maybe "MY Time" (unlimited days off and or work from home policy).

Cons

Mergers are inherently difficult. Merging 4 companies at once and adding a 5th shortly thereafter is a death wish. There is still no unified technology platform in place almost 2 years into the venture. They are running on dated patchwork systems, with dated patchwork employees, that have dated and patchwork skills. There is no plan of attack from product development, sales, and operations standpoints. The only real plan is to shine up the flaming bag or book of business to a larger conglomerate. The executive team has been on-board since almost the beginning has overseen the loss of millions in revenue yet is still at the helm with no new plans, products, or strategies. They walk around not looking into who the people in the company are and what their jobs and job functions do, they just look at each as a number with a $ in front of it. I would imagine that in a merger the employees that left or were let go would feel used until their knowledge was transferred, but they do not get to know anyone enough to even know what their job functions are. They walk around like their "you know what" doesn't stink and everyone is beneath them. The legacy employees that remain are either too lazy or fearful to find something comparable or are waiting their day to get a package. Some have been boosted to higher positions that don't have the skillset to handle the positions, but are "Yes-Men" so management will keep them on until they too are burnt out. Many new "non-legacy" employees come and go quickly, as soon as they realize they are in a very toxic situation. I could go on and on about everything but life on the outside of this place is too sweet to waste more time and energy.

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!
