Pros

Co-workers were hard-working dedicated people. The people at FJM care about the company and its direction. Chicago office is a beautiful place to work. Flexibility and vacation is great.

Cons

Compensation is low especially for online media and the hours that are put in. Work/life balance is very skewed toward work. The company continues to hire more superfluous VPs and more layers of management (read: external) while neglecting the people "who keep the lights on." No bonuses for years, minimal raises, and unrealistic budgets keep FJM from being competitive for talent. 2016 re-org was an unmitigated nightmare.

Thank you for taking the time to share this review! We are so glad that you are seeing all the positive changes in the way we operate. We also appreciate the comment about some unsteadiness.
