Pros

It could be a fun first "real" job post college

Cons

Everything is always in crisis mode. Lack of leadership. They really don't care a lot about their employees or the clients. Lots of shady dealings with clients and with performance bonuses.

Our core values include Team and Family as well as Total Client Affinity. Every day there are examples that show we live these values such as when our clients ask us to achieve the near impossible and we do it. We Make it Happen (another one of our core values) and our clients recognize us for it by renewing contracts with us year over year. Clearly your experience was not the best for you and we sincerely hope you find what you are looking for elsewhere.

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.
