Pros

Casual work environment. Can come and go as you please without being monitored. Fully stocked fridge. Supportive upper management. Mobility across departments and positions- you can be a life-timer here.

Cons

There is a constant battle between departments with different objectives and goals, which makes it hard to efficiently work together.

Campaign Manager- RUN AWAY!

Pros

Free snacks and coffee in the kitchen, monthly catered lunch, summer outings, christmas parties

Cons

Management is a complete joke, they only promote people they like and not based on their ability to manage or experience. Campaign Managers are working ALL the time, I mean holidays, on your PTO, overtime and most weekends. The overtime is not compensated for since you are on a yearly salary. Seriously say goodbye to your personal life since you will be slaving away at this dead end job.
