      Trying to survive in a super micromanaged environment.

      Pros

      Dedicated employees. Company is growing rapidly.

      Cons

      Meetings galore, tough work hours. People mostly follow without thinking hard about "what is good for employees' future"

      If I had know more, I wouldn't have taken the position

      Pros

      Working a 9 - 5 day is accepted, so it's an easy job if all you want is a check. The fact that they are still in business is a surprising pro.

      Cons

      Surprisingly slow pace with a lack of technological vision for a dot-com/e-tailer. There is also a surprising amount of resistance to change and an aire of apathy which belongs more in a government institution than the supposedly fast paced environment I thought it would be.

      Management needs an overhaul

      Pros

      People are generally nice in the office. LinkShare does offer work/life balance if you have the right manager. There are a lot of employees who do try to make LinkShare a better company.

      Cons

      Many mangers don't know how to manage. They often delegate work to one to three hardworking team members while allowing others to coast by with little work. Many issues arise from bad decisions made from leaders who don't know what they are doing.
