Pros
Benefits. Schedule flexibility. Work-life balance. Open-door culture. Invests in staff. Business Resource Groups provide internal networking and diverse learning experiences. Significant on-the-job training and learning experiences, until a certain career point. Offers opportunities to be entrepreneurial with clients with the support and guidance of upper management. Opportunity to learn ins and outs of CPG companies. Opportunities to network with CPG contacts and industry professionals.
Cons
Always chasing the competition. Not as technologically advanced as competition, but striving to be "Intelligent Media Delivery" experts and market leaders. Takes pride in upper management seniority, though ideas are often stale and lackluster. Marketing is behind the times, not always appealing to the "on demand" generation - company does not quite embrace Speed, Urgency and Energy. Lower pay than comparable companies. Once you get to a certain career point, in order to grow you must seek out learning opportunities within company, or move on. Some employees hang around to collect a paycheck and do not care to grow business, or service clients and internal parties and are just going through the motions. Either Pro or Con, not sure yet: Recently purchased by a private equity firm. No longer public. Unsure of company changes or staff benefits.
