Pros

Great legacy media company, tremendous headquarters, cafeteria is very nice. Lots of ongoing employee events featuring leaders in various industries.

Cons

Pay was not competitive. Culture was very stuffy for those expecting a tech or startup-type atmosphere.

Pros

Sales team is super bonded over terrible senior management.

Cons

Executive leadership team is not equipped to manage high performing sales people. They mange first year sales reps the same as they manage 20+ years of experience sales reps. 5 members of the sales team have voluntarily walked off the team in the last 2 months and no changes have been made to leadership. Leadership said they were changing our comp plan mid year, but wouldn’t telling us what it was changing to (essentially asking us to sell like normal without telling us what we’d be paid).
