Pros

The only pro to working at this company is the individuals in the office. There are some FANTASTIC people who work/have worked at Div D. It's a great place to dive into the industry. It's a super young company, it's very casual, and it's a great place to start off. That is until you're told in a sales meeting that there's too much 'casual chatter' in the office by your CFO. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but DivD is well known for taking away their employee's FULL WFH benefit on a one-day notice. It's hard not to have casual conversations when you're required to be in-office every day until you get permission to do so otherwise. About Feb is when the first 'push' (removal of benefits) occurred; YTD, there have been a handful of 'pushes,' and many employees have left because of this. Then, in May, they laid off about 20% of their employees one Friday afternoon. They claimed many of these people were on performance plans, but that was not the case. When I started, every employee was allowed WFH days after training. After the layoffs, it was decided you do not receive any WFH days until one year of employment. So if you're an individual who needs WFH days (long commute, kids at home, maintenance repairs, etc), you WILL NOT receive WFH until that one-year mark. After the layoffs, that extra work was put onto everyone else. pretty much every AAM was fired, AMs had to start covering tasks not applicable to them without extra pay, AEs were asked to reach out to hundred of people through cold-calls/emails a week, Media strategy got cut in half, and employees who had been there for numerous years had been fired. People started quitting left and right for lack of job security.. that extra work? It fell right onto the backs of already overworked, underpaid employees. The response from our CEO? Another 'push.' DivD is notorious for firing people, and dumping their work onto you for no extra pay. Yet we're given a random email by our CEO that we made the inc 5000 list? You'd never know it by how little you get paid. We are given quarterly reviews, surveys, anything you could convince yourself that upper management was listening to you--but that goes unheard once it reaches your manager. It has been a dumpster fire ever since March 2023. During your interviews (with what's left of HR), they'll try and advertise this to you as dynamic, fun place to gain experience, with uncapped (~1%) commission. Do not drink the koolaid.

Cons

Division D is a joke in the industry, and is known as an overly pushy and annoying company. That may come from the head of the sales team, or the owner himself.

Pros

Commission can be great just depends on how willing you want to take it on but also depends on the luck you get with the advertiser they give you. Good for entry level.

Cons

Base salary is so low you really have to have a lot of campaigns under you to be even making it over 70k. AMs handles way too much which is where the overload of work comes from. Its getting betterish as theres more dept for certain things but I think they need to create more departments to help w AMs.
