Pros

SB used to be a great place to work with great benefits and a great team culture but that has disappeared over the last several months.

Cons

There is an awful culture in the marketing team. There is no transparency as to where you stand. It’s easy to see that some people we used to love working for are burned out and they are getting “quite fired.” People are fearful for their jobs but are afraid to speak up. Leadership thinks a potluck is going to make up for the environment they have created. SMH.
