Pros

The cubicle is pretty big if you really enjoy having your own space. A lot of free nuts in the kitchen, free coffee...you get a backpack. You can move up fairly fast, but only because the good people get annoyed and leave.

Cons

Poor management, my boss has no idea what I do on a daily basis. Very poor communication from the C-Suite. Two departments were recently completely restructured and given different titles and different clients. No one had any idea clients were being shuffled around. Since I've been here...less than 6 months...I've seen 4 people get fired. Even though it's a digital marketing company, the knowledge basis for what that is exactly is extremely limited. You should know what you are selling. Super cliquey and client care is beyond loud. They goof off most of the time, from literally running around like children to making weird voices. I was on a phone call and the person on the other line thought I was at a party and asked if they should call me back later.....not okay. Departments don't talk to each other. No one is friendly when passing in the hallway or being in the kitchen. it's awkward. No real training for the newbies. No structure of how to on board new employees properly. I got very frustrated when I started cause I was given ZERO direction on processes. The four companies that merged a year ago still behave as if they are 4 companies. Everyone has a different way of doing things and they are acquiring a 5th company....don't see that going smoothly. They have unlimited PTO which is a norm in the digital place, but they are getting rid of it in Jan cause management doesn't trust it's employees not to abuse it.

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!
