Pros

Work/like balance is generally favorable considering it's a media company. There will definitely be times when additional hours will be needed, but that level of busyness tends to come and go, and will vary based on role and assigned clients. Peers/colleagues are great to work with. There are varying levels of experience and expertise within the company, providing resources to learn, and people to commiserate with. The work itself is relatively straightforward, with such a specific target of recruitment media. There's just enough of a challenge to make things interesting since the campaigns tend to be very niche, but it's not rocket science.

Cons

Senior leadership often gives the marching orders to do "whatever the client asks." Usually this is given in the wake of a mistake or an oversight, or when the account is in jeopardy. Sales is the bottom line, at the cost of the people supporting the operations of the account. The problem is that doing "whatever the client asks" only addresses the symptoms of the larger dysfunctions, and solves nothing in the long run. Often a problematic situation occurs due to the lack of experience or skill among the teams including account service; because salaries tend to be low, new hires often lack experience. Lessons are learned the hard way, with no opportunity to course correct. It leaves internal teams exasperated because they end up provided free services that are often far out of scope, and clients with the ongoing expectation that their every whim will be granted no matter how off base they might be.

Pros

Great place to grow, flexible with family matters and a good work life balance. Learned a lot. Flexible time off is a good perk.

Cons

The rebrand removed a lot of personality from the company which made it hard to service legacy clients.

Pros

The people and direct coworkers were genuinely supportive and collaborative. Many employees were dealing with similar challenges, which created a strong sense of teamwork and willingness to help each other. Despite broader organizational issues, most teams worked hard and tried to support one another however they could.

Cons

Leadership doesn’t seem to have a clear direction for the company, so priorities and decisions were constantly changing. A lot of decisions would get made and then completely reversed a few months later, which made it hard to feel confident in anything long term. There were also a lot of staffing and restructuring changes without proper training or support, so people were basically expected to figure things out as they went. The company became very focused on enforcing in-office policies and making sure people were physically at their desks, while employees hadn’t received raises in years despite heavier workloads and inflation. That disconnect was really discouraging and definitely contributed to burnout. Burnout was something constantly talked about across teams, but it rarely felt like anything meaningful was done to actually support employees or improve workloads. A lot of employees were also expected to sell or support products they didn’t fully believe in, which made it hard to feel set up for success from the beginning.
