Pros

- there's a lot to learn, I could see it being a great place for someone just starting out and figuring out how marketing/advertising apply outside of a classroom - if you're lucky you end up working on a great team. My team is literally the only thing I miss about Z - there's at least some effort put in for holidays / happy hours / events

Cons

Welcome to "The Machine"....where you will literally feel like a cog in a wheel that can be replaced at the drop of a hat. - ZERO work-life balance. Do not trust anyone who tells you they will "work with you" if you need to work remotely on occassion. Prime example - wifi went out a couple times and they didn't let us leave to go work at home for the day...instead we sat around doing nothing until like 5:30pm when we were told we could go home as long as we promised to work for the rest of the day. - They'll hire remote employees, but if you're in South Florida you have to be in office 5 days a week. They have people driving 2+ hours to get to work...and then another 2 to get home. - You are treated like a child - attendance is taken every day and if you are more than 1 minute late you are told you could be fired. - You're in the office 5 days a week...and all your meetings are held virtually on Teams. Make it make sense! - Old-school business mentality, still hung up on 'be the first to arrive & last to leave' - Any talk about professional growth is handled in the most vague terms possible, and even if they do give you a promotion (title or salary) don't expect it to take affect for a minimum of 6 months - "Skeleton Week" at the holidays is a joke - you work 1 day but it has to be in-office. So sucks to be you if you want to travel to see family for the holidays - that'll cost you 5 days of PTO. - Most out-of-touch CEO ever. Town Halls are called just so he can hear himself talk while he worships at the alter of Steve Jobs or Elon Musk.

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.
