Pros

Great people on the marketing department team

Cons

Drastic cutbacks in the company with layoffs every 6 months or so. Marketing team has been drastically chopped back. Leadership is constantly changing in the company and there is no strategy or 1 year, 3 year, 5 year plan. Makes it tough to support any type of plan with leadership not choosing a direction and business goal to help support.
