Pros

Everyone is really helpful and pretty committed to the work. Also, the work itself was fun yet meaningful. The hybrid work model also is better than many other media companies with focus on work/life balance.

Cons

Not much room for growth and salaries aren't great. Not many opportunities for professional development. Struggled with promoting employees of color. Like many companies in 2020, the company made quite a few DEI hires/promotions after being called out about not promoting employees of color/hiring people of color for temp/grant funded positions.

Pros

Job was fairly autonomous and relaxed.

Cons

Complete lack of communication from senior management. Decisions constantly made that affect your work by people who fundamentally don't understand what that work is and will never seek input by those who do. Plans regarding media processes and abilities remain secretive until the last moment from employees, channels and partners. Senior management on the media side of things comes off as delusional towards their knowledge and capabilities of the systems they poorly implemented. Would rather take the advice of vendors trying to sell a product than the staff who knows what needs to be done and how to do it.
