Pros

I am not sure if there are any. The people used to make Pepperjam acceptable place to work. The employees who excelled and knew digital marketing either found another job or Pepperjam included them is a "reduction".

Cons

Where to start? Any leader that cared about employees and keeping the doors open at Pepperjam are long gone. The c-suite remaining at the beginning of 2018, looked out for themselves, were more interested in letting the staff know how great they are and don't know the meaning of human capital and are expendable. Matt Gilbert is unapproachable and had no interest in getting to know employees. His focus was on his 30/60/90 plan that maybe had a complected check on day 100. There were 4 "reductions in workforce" since 2016 and each had the same goal, different label and didn't achieve the goal. Work life balance isn't in the vocabulary of senior management. It is possible to be told you are putting in too many hours at 10am and later that day you are being reprimanded because a deliverable could have been done better. But to get your hopes up that you will get even an inter for help! There is no career pathing, you will not be rewarded for doing a good job and HR is a mirage.
