Pros

The culture was the honestly the only redeeming quality I found at the company and was a main driver on why I stayed as long as I did.

Cons

• Lack of transparency by management, which has lead to many questionable decisions and regression of the company. • No clear direction or vision during my tenure there and speaking with current employees reaffirms those feelings even more. • Lackluster health benefits • If you weren't part of the "inner circle" you were treated like a second class citizen in many regards. • The partners have a very skewed concept of reality and think they are taking care of their employees. When in reality they are severely underpaying many of them for the work that they do.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that your experience was not in line with what we strive to give our employees, and hopefully we can shed some light on some of these points. There have been ups and downs over the years, as in any company, and while we wouldn’t consider it regression, we have reduced our staff in multiple departments as a part of a strategic shift towards our Media Services business. The results have been overwhelmingly positive and the business is breaking all time sales records while delivering very strong results for our agency partners. We believe we’re on the right track, have a fantastic team, and are already seeing the results of some of our strategic decisions. We are likewise always evaluating our compensation package (which includes quarterly bonus structure, a generous time off policy, Fit Perk, and other benefits), and we will continue to monitor and adjust this for all employees so we can remain competitive and fair. Again, we thank you for your feedback as we can learn from these points. We hope you have found a great new fit and wish you the best in your new role.

Pros

The company culture is hands down, the best I've ever experienced. I find the work environment to be highly collaborative & supportive. The high level of engagement between Leadership, Sales, Ops & Support definitely creates a feeling that Q1 is a career home, rather than just a place to work. I'm excited to see how my role here will continue to develop in the coming years,

Cons

I haven't come across any real cons since beginning at Q1.
