Pros

None. I feel bad for the few staff that is left.

Cons

The CEO: This is company is a waste of time, and as others have mentioned, the CEO will have no problem ruining your career/self-esteem along the way. Too many decent people have been driven away or fired for no reason because the CEO has been enabled to treat people in a disgusting and hostile manner. Culture: There is zero company culture. No staff is left (maybe 7 ppl. There were 35 this time last year) and everyone is left isolated. The only "new" hire is terribly under qualified and validates the CEO's toxic behavior. You will be exposed to their fights with one another and bullying of other people. If you are FEMALE, you will be subjected to verbal and emotional abuse, and there will be no one to protect you as HR doesn't exist. I have single handedly witnessed previous employees be pulled into meetings where they are ganged up on and forced out upon walking into the work day. Get ready for anxiety, stress, and fear. You will be forced to go over proposals that are incoherent for agonizing hours and reduced to retyping the CEO's jumbled thoughts over and over again. He is usually running on no sleep and substances. You will be yelled at over attempting to be proactive without the CEO's knowledge (paranoia) and discouraged from doing any work on your own, except book meetings. The CEO just wants meetings and more meetings because he has run through all of his other relationships. However, good luck getting the proposal out to the client. Get ready for it to be your fault when the client ignores you. The CEO needs constant monitoring to get anything accomplished. It's a time suck. That is the culture. Business Model: It is simply failing. That is all you will learn. The CEO does not know how to sell digital campaigns and refuses to let the team he had sell into it. The backend is a disaster and clients are usually upset with deliverables. You will be forced to sell into inflated print programs that are not justified from a pure marketing analytics standpoint.

Pros

Free cold brew, the office is pretty hip. They have decent parties and sometime happy hour. The team there is great a lot of hard working people who deserve way much more

Cons

The product itself is somewhat good...the idea of it anyway. The main issues with Dujour are of course the CEO; he is a very childish, rude, unprofessional slob who treats everyone like his personal assistant. He is constantly calling you all hours of the night only to ramble on about nonsense 75 percent of the time. He will also chastise you about not generating enough revenue when you're not even in the sales department. He also enjoys berating the female employees the most; I've seen a few cry. He doesn't know what he is doing and it show when clients leave or new ones decline. All the "data" and "numbers" he likes to throw around are made up. Him showing up to the office inebriated was always a morale booster. Employees sure do love meeting with the boss when he can barely stay coherent while drooling all over his chin. He drives both clients and employees away, which is clear by just looking at the current state of the publication. The magazine is half it size at what it used to be, Youtube channel is dead, the website is barely functioning, etc. The company infrastructure is very poor and there is never any money to fix it, however there always some available for the CEO to blow it on useless things. I don't recommend working at this place at all.
