Pros

Competitive pay and benefits, does it matter?

Cons

Rampant Favoritism: Promotions and project opportunities are based on favoritism rather than merit. Certain employees receive preferential treatment, while others are overlooked, regardless of performance. Toxic Management: Leadership lacks transparency and accountability. Managers assign projects based on personal bias and not on skills or contribution. Unmanageable Workload: Work is often dumped onto select employees while others receive lighter loads. There’s little effort to balance responsibilities, and management turns a blind eye. Lack of Career Growth: No clear career progression, mentorship, or development opportunities. Employees remain in the same roles for years with no discussion about future growth.

Work from home period was great but I know that’s not how they operate anymore. My organization structure in corporate marketing was insulated from a lot of the departmental drama and turnover.

Cons

A lot of departmental turnover made following and adopting processes hard Not very competitive for pay Hard to move up the job ladder, easier to leave.
