Pros

The people I worked with were great There were performances in the office by up and coming artists Work/Life Balance was pretty good

Cons

Strung me along for years trying to get a raise. Made us all take 2 weeks unpaid vacation in 2020 due to covid-related revenue issues, told it was specifically to avoid layoffs, then in March 2021 they laid off a whole lot of people. They only care about the stock price, which only executives get, not employees. They subscribe to the "do more with less" mentality which means they'll underpay one person to do the job of 2 or 3 people. Opened new office in Nashville, and laid off lots of NY people, all the while telling NY "we love you guys". Much of the web properties are just click-bait to get ad revenue. No career path

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
