Pros

An incredibly supportive and enjoyable work experience with a product line that is superior, uplifting and important to the community. Managers have been kind and supportive. Decent, but not outrageously positive benefit package. Local managers are willing to help and have a great heart for the people working for and with them. Atmosphere is generally positive locally.

Cons

Poor pay schedule and compensation. Career advancement is difficult as often management is hired from the outside with limited internal advancement. Nor is there any internal program or educational opportunity to garner the skills and experience necessary for advancement. Opportunities are often not listed in advance.

Pros

Great supportive local environment, people called to work there to support the mission.

Cons

Corporate digital leadership is disjointed and systems are chaotic. Actual delivered campaigns are inevitably flawed and mis managed. Retaliatory, narcisstic, abusive corporate digital leadership. Constant systems changes and zero assistance in navigating. More and more digital agency and other jobs outsourced to Asia. Salespeople are exhausted and burned out by programs failing. Zero accountability taken by Ad Ops team for mistakes or extrene lag time in responses from internal automated systems. Salary cuts to 'help the company' plays on the mission minded employees, taking advantage of employees good intentions by underpaying them compared to industry. No 401K match.
