Pros

I now know what type of place I will never work and what my threshold is for tolerating terrible people. I met a couple decent people there. They also didn't stick around. I also got a few free lunches out of working there.

Cons

Work related: No real training. Expected to interview and recommend candidates for IT roles with no knowledge or training in IT. When asking my account manager and direct supervisor questions was blatantly talked down to or ignored (wouldn't even acknowledge my presence) When I asked for how I could improve I was told to "figure it out in my own." Everyone starts at very low entry level pay. After rent, car/phone payments and other bills, I was living off about $40/week for food and other expenses Culture: When I told my frustration at the position to a fellow employee, she told my account manager. At which point I was taken aside and again yelled at and belittled. Very cut throat. Back stabbing. Upper management trash talks lower level recruiters behind closed doors. Very much like working in a sorority. You could hit all your numbers and if a couple account managers aren't a fan of you there won't be that promotion they dangle in front of you. On an office trip I witnessed a group caught doing cocaine by the office manager. They all kept their jobs. While another young kid woke up the next morning before everyone else, cooked breakfast for himself and girl friend but not the 40 other people there. He was yelled at and belittled on the spot, then let go Monday for being inconsiderate and not a cultural fit. We were told to write positive reviews on Glass Door and several other job posting sites in the office. I had nothing good to say so I refused....I was also asked not to post anything negative about the company when I left. I lasted 3 months there, which I'd guess is pretty close to average. But I was doing phone interviews in my car during lunch breaks after my first month. Young fresh out of college kids who sometimes make a lot of money if they jump through enough hoops. If you make it and can stomach all of the above, you will do great.

Pros

The individual contributors and the endless amounts of budget for campaigns tools and resources. A great place for marketing creatives looking to do just that, create.

Cons

Leadership served themselves, not their team. There's 0 structure with no marketing KPI measurement or revenue attribution to show the ROI. Everyone always seemed so busy but nothing was getting done to show the impact marketing had on the businesses bottom line. Not many wanted to do the work to build the department to any potential, half of marketing doesn't even work under marketing which promotes vast misalignment. Just resources begging to be used and a bleeding advertising budget. It has a ton of potential, but I watched the few who could have changed it all leave over the frustrations of leaders only concerned with their own self preservation.
