Pros

Most people in the office are friendly. The work wasn't difficult at all (considering people without degrees work there.) The hours weren't too demanding and the travel reimbursement wasn't bad.

Cons

Absolutely the worst management hierarchy out of any company I have worked for. Both of the office "leaders" are not qualified in the slightest for their positions. Just because you have longevity, does not mean that equates to being a qualified leader. Clicks in the office are so apparent and if you aren't in Denna's little "in crowd" you will not advance at your position (non producers.) Also, if you don't suck up to the unqualified "leader," you will most likely get pushed out after a year or two for someone else. Your job will become extremely stagnant with absolutely no effort by management to change that. If you are a male on the account management team, you are already at a disadvantage in regards to what DH thinks of you.

Pros

• Good in office dynamic with coworkers for those who worked in office

Cons

• Delayed promotion/raise - you’ll sign a contract in which your raise will be effect but delay it 2 1/2 months • unfair workload - management plays favorite and doesn’t even bother intervening on the issue, rather just gives more work. Multiple times I caught myself doing the work for my peers. • No structure - the office I worked at completely lacked structure where I was shadowing a colleague for 2 weeks before being expected to know what to do • Collision w/ OOO Staff - the out of office staff was very rude at times and because they aren’t in office, management doesn’t push the standards/expectations on them as much as people in office
