Pros

there are no pros, would give zero stars if that was an option

Cons

Toxic environment. The CEO is a horrible person who sends agency-wide emails he thinks are inspiring but they use giant font so it feels like he’s just screaming at you. The pay is low, the hours are long (it’s a sweat shop). There’s limited paid time off, zero flexibility in the work day. You’re expected to be at your desk before 9AM and if you’re not, your name goes on a list for a “talking to” and a threat you’ll be fired. The threats are not idle, they will fire you if you land on that list a few times. Promotions are promised that never happen or take forever and the bump in pay is tiny when it does happen. Teams are understaffed and overworked, they make mistakes and clients get mad. The CEO calls it The Machine and you’re just a replaceable cog.

Pros

Free Soda machine, zero state tax

Cons

So many to say. Knowing that your boss and the owner are complete idiots and out of touch within the first month of working there was a negative. Bad pay, lack of support, a security guard checking you in. There are so many.
