Pros

The leadership team strongly values marketing and there has been a large focus on engaging in more progressive marketing programs (social media, improved digital experience, email marketing).

Cons

Marketing leadership won't add head count and engages the department in too many projects thus overworking the team. Since the merger, leadership has not done enough to establish processes and an effective cross-functional work environment within the marketing sub-depts. The end result is a non-functional, stressful work environment where it's hard for team members to accomplish their goals and feel a sense of pride in their work.

Pros

For the first time in years, I feel like I'm working for a well run company that values its employees. I work with smart, thoughtful colleagues and management. Hours are fairly normal. Benefits are amazing -- to include better health plans than I have had in years, matching donations to some degree, and encouraging volunteerism by providing time. Free, covered parking. A great cafeteria on-site with healthy options, plus other services such as a convenience store, medical center and dry cleaning on-site. The fitness classes and gym are greatly appreciated. Recently they introduced more casual dress which I really appreciate.

Cons

At this time, I don't have any.
