      Great people to work with, not for

      Pros

      Co-workers were hard-working dedicated people. The people at FJM care about the company and its direction. Chicago office is a beautiful place to work. Flexibility and vacation is great.

      Cons

      Compensation is low especially for online media and the hours that are put in. Work/life balance is very skewed toward work. The company continues to hire more superfluous VPs and more layers of management (read: external) while neglecting the people "who keep the lights on." No bonuses for years, minimal raises, and unrealistic budgets keep FJM from being competitive for talent. 2016 re-org was an unmitigated nightmare.

      Decent Company to work at

      Pros

      - most positions seem to have flexible(ish) work hours and many people are able to work from home. - small(ish) company so you get to work with and get to know many executive members, VP's, the CEO - not overly stressful- work/life balance is great! They are good about taking vacation days off and most managers don't mind if you take a few extra days off as long as they see that you work hard and are committed to your job.

      Cons

      - financial systems are outdated. The way that budgeting is done is very unsophisticated and causes issues because changes are not tracked so you don't know who to ask when you notice that a line in your budget was changed. - compensation slightly below average

      One of the best companies I've worked for

      Pros

      Colleagues were absolutely wonderful to work with and the atmosphere was pleasant to work in. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. Upper management and C-level leadership were also wonderful to work with. Benefits were great and salary was competitive. It was a pleasure coming into work each day - I would work for this organization again if I had the opportunity!

      Cons

      Any downfalls I could possibly come up with are very minimal and are present no matter where you work (i.e., management styles).
