Pros

Great people on my small team. My manager supports a good work - life balance. We generally get along, and go out for drinks on my boss often.

Cons

Unfair reporting structure, and not too many opportunities for advancement. Some people in Marketing have a superiority complex, and are complete morons.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
