Pros

The marketing team I worked with were all very talented, driven individuals who worked hard despite leadership working against them and belittling them at every turn.

Cons

The CEO micromanages everyone. She is very dismissive and condescending towards employees. The marketing department cannot keep a department lead because the CEO treats them poorly. She "does not believe in marketing" and treats the entire department like a waste of time and money. She refuses to provide a budget for any photoshoots or other marketing efforts. Turnover is very high. And employees were treated as expendable at the beginning of COVID. Additionally, when an employee would leave/get fired, they would simply hand over all of that employee's workload to someone else in the department with no intention of hiring a replacement. There would be no discussion of increased pay with the increased workload. This happened multiple times. When I left, everyone in the office was doing the work of 2-3 employees. With no department head or leadership to speak of.
