Pros

Absolutely none! This place offers you hope and a dream. But in actuality, if your extremely desperate for a job then keep looking after you accept this one. Its just not worth the paranoia to worry about your job everyday.

Cons

The corporate politics are so severe there is no point of caring. It doesn't matter how good you are at your job, your at risk. Upper management is quick to throw anyone under the bus in order to save themselves or of course their friends. There is a circle and if your not in it the watch out!! They lie about everything to gtet you in the door and then makeyou miserable. They offered great ay but then eventua;ly found a way to fire anyone making an exponential amount in order to cut costs. They offered free parking as a perk but that was short lived. They babysit you with short cubicle walls and a phone system that records how many times you go to the bathroom. The systems are terrible and they are too cheap to invest in better technology in order to help themselves suceed. There no training. Period! But yet they expect you to perform as though you have been doing this for years.

Pros

They allow you to work independently, are somewhat flexible in the decisions they make to grow business, established relationships with the top tier agencies throughout the West Coast, strong and well-known brand with the agencies and clients they serve, and they have a great product with great rates throughout the West Coast. Senior leadership has a great vision for the organization and they are positioned well to grow and sustain growth for years to come.

Cons

I’m sure this isn’t the case from every region and every middle manager, however I experienced a very cynical, look out for yourself and take anyone down you need to in order to make a name for yourself environment and working conditions. This along with a large amount of false promises and false statements made to temporarily appease me and try and persuade me to stop asking questions or avoid further investigating a concern or challenge. I strongly believe there was a lack of communication of the companies and senior leaderships vision and direction down to our levels and I believe not only was this communication stalled or stopped altogether but any information, needs, and communication that could have helped the organization and the clients was often dismissed before it could get to senior leadership and in many cases the middle management would take over this information and results and make it their own when communicating to senior leadership thus taking the credit. Very negative working environment where everyone was pinned against each other and made to feel that you should keep your head down, do the minimum, and not present new ideas or suggestions that could benefit the organization.
