Pros

Work From Here Policy Business Resource Groups (BRGs)

Cons

If you want to work for a company with professional coworkers who have your best interest, this is not the company for you. My department was suffering from an increased workload and upper management refused to provide us with the help we needed due to strict COVID budgeting. There are unclear expectations of job duties due to upper management constantly increasing workload. When I told my manager about the unclear expectations and high-stress environment, I was told that there are many other employees in the company that feel the same way and I was given no solutions. It's clear that management is aware of many internal issues and doesn't care to fix them. Employee turnover is HIGH and Affinitiv is constantly losing good talent. Might I add, the compensation for all positions is extremely underpaid in general. Affinitiv leadership claims they want to see their employees grow whether it's internal or external. The second I announced I was quitting, I was treated as if I never existed. Instead, I was told what a mistake I'm making and I was shamed for my decision, which proved my decision to leave even more. My direct manager never even thanked me or said goodbye. If you want to be undervalued, underpaid, unrecognized and burnt out, I'd highly recommend working here. If you're a prospective employee, PLEASE pay close attention to the bad reviews. Increasing the Glassdoor rating was an HR initiative and they had upper level employees write fake good reviews.

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!
