Pros

The work is easy, and the pay isn't too bad. Depending on what you do, the work/life balance is great. Occasional opportunities to travel and attend events.

Cons

They don't really care about their employees. I witnessed several rounds of layoffs during my handful of years here, and the reactions of my bosses and higher-ups were always apathetic and focused on what's "best for the business." They don't do yearly reviews or raises. I even got a promotion without a raise. After being laid off without any prior warning, they only gave me 4 weeks of pay as severance. I also felt like everyone was pretty mediocre at their jobs, partly because of the company culture. One executive actually told us the company prides itself on running "mean and lean." I came away from the job with very few new skills. Work here if you need a steady income as soon as possible, but keep your options open. They don't care about you.

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.
