Pros

If you have no experience and are willing to work your butt off for no pay, no recognition, no advancement opportunity then this is the place for you, but when you get that experience take it to a better company.

Cons

You cannot get the tools you need to do your job. Too much is done off shore. Turnover Benefits Pay Management High school like, cliques, gossip, lack of professionalism. VP's think they walk on water, but have no clue what their employees go through, worse they don't care. Very top heavy,not enough operations people on the work front. Owners think a party now and then makes up for all of the above.

Pros

- Decent base salary if this is your first job out of University. - Free Swag - WFH Fridays - Smart and helpful colleagues

Cons

- Incredibly stressful, do NOT take this job if you do not have a high stress tolerance. - A ton of competing priorities that almost always require quick/immediate action. - You get a ton of emails and are expected to be able to pull up and reference any of them at a moments notice. - Constant whiplash between doing deep, focused work (presentation/catalogs) that have a ton of details and require your full attention versus quick/rapid fire tasks that you must address immediately. There were days where I was working on one presentation all day and couldn't get it done because of how much I was getting pinged to resolve other issues. - To get promoted you must essentially do the job of 2 people (CSC and PSA). Beyond that, there is no real career progression unless you want to go into sales. - Management always says to raise your hand if you need help. But when you ask for help, there is always pushback in the form of others having more task hours than you. - CEO took away one of the WFH days. When Qualtrics had negative feedback he essentially said "If you don't like it - then leave". He is a "Do as I say, not as I do." type of leader. - Workload and responsibilities are not commiserate to the salary.
