Pros

Opportunity to grow if you're willing to play the political game and be ok with DMs having their little kingdoms. Stand up for what's right and prepare to be ostracized and shut out. If you feel like just doing what you're doing, you can sit stagnant for an entire career.

Cons

Absolutely no work life balance. Prepare to bring your phone and laptop with you on vacation. People rolling out new initiatives (largely computer based) barely understand them, let alone are able to teach and troubleshoot.

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
