      I want to love it....

      Pros

      The people are amazing. They are so smart, really fun, and great to be around. The work is really interesting, never dull, really challenging, but in a wonderful way. Very flexible in working from home. Lots of opportunities... IF you get lucky with your management.

      Cons

      Terrible work life balance... Long hours and no recognition. Sometimes feels like you get punished for being good at your job (ie. get more work, have to help other people), while people who are struggling get it really easy (ie. shorter hours, lighter workload). I want to love my job, and I think I could, but every day I see tremendously intelligent people getting screwed over in terms of management, raises, bonuses, recognition, workload... etc.

      Selling Marketing Information is NOT like selling jet engines

      Pros

      Well known name. Bonuses were paid out even in down years (though they were obviously quite a bit smaller).

      Cons

      The company talks about meritocracy and rewarding top talent but it's just that - talk. Unfortunately, instead of investing in people, the company is stripping out experienced people and having lower level associates do the work of two. Raises are held to a minimum regardless of performance.

      If you want workers to be loyal than the company has to show loyalty in return
