Pros

- Good work/life balance - Nice team members

Cons

- Leadership is disconnected from reality and doesn't understand day-to-day realities of marketing efforts - Pushed to move quickly rather than doing things the right way to ensure long-term success - Leaders acting in fear and take actions to cover their own backs - Very political and everyone looking to take credit (Example: Digital leadership made company-wide announcement that a large project was completed when those working on it know it's only 50% of the way done)
