Pros

Pay was decent, flexible hours, fair amount of vacation time, some nice people to work with, good experience for new college graduates

Cons

High turnover overall, predominantly focused on gender based "diversity" in this company, career development planning just for show, promotions are generally based on seniority as opposed to performance, management ignores talents and experience of select groups of people, new hires with college degrees and work experience are given tasks that most companies assign to high school students and interns, many employees have a hierarchial mentality which is reinforced by the company culture and lack of true diversity, IT was a joke

Pros

Some managers were exceptional mentors and played a significant role in my professional growth. Good benefits and a reasonable severance package during workforce reductions. Opportunities to work on large-scale marketing initiatives and collaborate with experience professionals across the organization and globe.

Cons

Advancement opportunities often felt inconsistent and lacked any transparency. Leadership frequently emphasized data-driven decision making, but business decisions did not always appear to align with the metrics being presented. The company appeared hesitant to embrace emerging technologies and AI-driven approaches, limiting innovation in multiple areas. Job security is uncertain, and organizational changes occur frequently with little warning. Management quality varied significantly, While some leaders were outstanding, others struggled with communication, strategic direction, and people management. Career growth seemed to depend heavily on organizational politics and alignment with leadership rather than solely on measurable performance.
