Pros

honestly none - I guess if I had to list one, some people make good friends here. Also, once you finally leave here you will be set up for success and excel in your next job because no place is as intense as this.

Cons

- completely unlivable wage with the promise that you will be a 25 year old "making minimum of $300k a year" if you "make it". Almost everyone either had multiple roommates or were still being assisted by their parents -must be in your seat at 8am on the dot and cannot leave until minimum 5pm, and are encouraged to work well beyond that because its a "grind" culture. you also get 1 hour on the dot for lunch otherwise you are "spoken to". -prey on naive college students, primarily attractive kids in greek life or sports -claim on having a culture of "constructive criticism" which really is just an excuse to bully you. They have a quarterly practice where everyone goes in a room and sits in a circle (after work hours), and you go around the circle telling each person something you like about them and something you dont (I was told I am too abrasive). Then, you take the things people don't like about you and put it on a sticky note on your desk to be reminded how to "be better". What in the world?!?! - my mental health extremely suffered here. the expectations are extremely unrealistic and in your first job out of school, you don't know any better. This is the most toxic environment of playing favorites, creating internal anxiety, and gossip -absolutely no work life balance in the name of "grinding". you are also expected to attend regular happy hours, social events with your team outside of work, otherwise you will be ostracized and jeopardize your chance of growth -I was once told my entirely appropriate dress pants were "too loud" and not to wear them again because they were patterned. Are you kidding me? I was also discriminated against for having curly hair that air dried and was told I needed to be putting "heat on my hair" -unethical work practices - you are encouraged to undercut and nickel and dime candidates. It's very slimy. -90% turnover rate. This speaks for itself.

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.
