Pros

Awesome people. The company did a great job of hiring people that fit in with the culture. That's about the only pro I could possibly think of besides free bagels on Friday.

Cons

Where to start. CEO has almost no involvement with the company and its employees. Company spent an insane amount of money on trips and events that weren't necessary. That money could have been spent and invested in employees or ya know, actually hiring managers that know that the hell they were doing. Their tech was out dated and took years before they said hey! Maybe it's time for an upgrade. The training is basically a note book. Once you read that notebook it's go out there and handle thousand dollar campaigns with almost no guidance! What's the worst that can happen? You lose the company money and we lay you off? Yes! That's exactly with happened. Company went from two floors, to one floor, to a small wework office. I could honestly go on and on but by the time I finish writing this review I wouldn't be surprised if vibrant door has closed.
