Pros

flexibility, free trip, office building is cool. there's generally a laid back atmosphere and co-workers and peers are in good humor and have a positive attitude. There's good lunch options nearby. gym on campus.

Cons

The work is very bland and cookie-cutter. It's direct marketing, after all. You work very fast and cut corners to get things done as quickly as possible. Constantly changing priorities and no project management create an impossible work environment. As a designer you're at the bottom of the work hierarchy, so basically anyone in the company can come to your desk and give you work, and they do. It's very stressful and the pay is lower than other companies in the area. It's a stepping-stone job.

Pros

Strong ownership, opportunity to manage people early, great people, nice campus. You will work on interesting problems and external companies. Great training if the space interests you.

Cons

Business future is uncertain, up or out management principles. New senior leaders somewhat disconnected from the day-to-day. Commute from Charlotte is horrible.
