Pros
- Good pay and benefits. - Never a dull moment. Fast-moving, challenging project work. - For the most part, team members and group leaders are very intelligent, talented and hard-working. - If you can succeed and thrive within this organization, you will be able to succeed and thrive almost anywhere else due to the nature of the fast-paced, demanding work environment.
Cons
- Factory mentality with regards to employees. Employees are considered and treated as replaceable cogs in the machine. - Taking time off for holidays/vacations is frowned upon. Leadership wants butts in seats. Thus, no work-life balance. - Due to the nature of the company's core business model, marketing is not a valued asset within the larger organization. As a result, marketing campaigns are approached very tactically as opposed to strategically. This leads to incessant start-stops and pointless fire drills. - Preference to hire from without as opposed to promoting from within. - Some legacy employees can be very territorial, which leads to less collaboration at best and hard-walled silos and obstruction at worst.
