Pros

Good suit of products. Strong brand name

Cons

The company as a whole did not handle the shift in the media industry very well. It was also mismanaged for several years which I guess allowed Louis and his crew to take over. They've stopped the bleeding of money but it's clear they are out of their depth when it comes to growing the company. Also the CEO is thought "Too Small to Fail" was really original.

Pros

• Some coworkers try to support each other despite the environment • You quickly learn how to handle stress (whether you want to or not)

Cons

• Toxic and reactive management style • Constantly shifting expectations with little to no clear direction • Unrealistic workload with pressure to meet metrics that don’t reflect reality • Lack of accountability from leadership—issues are pushed down instead of addressed • Poor communication across the board, leading to confusion and wasted time • Employees are not supported • Burnout is common and ignored
