Pros

I currently work under CMO Katharine Mobley. We are a small, but mighty team. We all work hard to grow and establish our brand globally. Lots of work on our plates, good team camaraderie, Kat is a great mentor and leader, work flexibility, good pay.

Cons

Because of the industry we are in, we must maintain compliance at all times which can slow down the process of getting work done. Patience is needed to get items you may need from various teams within the organization—but ultimately, it doesn't hinder workflow too much and the importance of keeping customer data safe, and staying complaint, is most important.

Pros

We had a great working team with dedicated departments with specific functions. We may not have liked EVERY coworker we had, but there were very hardworking dedicated employees there and we all got along pretty well. Made a great group of friends during my tenure there.

Cons

Pay is too low. Annual raises were too low. Practically a slap in the face for all the hard work you do. I did the job of 4 people and barely made over $12 after my 9 year tenure.

Pros

Great office location. Close to the mall. Lots of eating places around. Nice office building.

Cons

No room for growth. Low pay. No team spirit. Expects so much from employees but give nothing in return. Some of the people on the team feel as if they are superior to others and talk to them in disrespectful tones. Younger employees are treated like high school students.
