Pros

Great client brands and great people. Flexible time off. Solid holiday schedule. Decent pay and benefits. You will make some great friends trauma bonding.

Cons

Leadership is a mess. There is turnover left and right. Much of this is driven by toxicity and mean girl politics at the ALT level. There’s a new target every quarter and once it’s you, watch out. The way a particular ALT member speaks so condescendingly to her team, her peers, her superiors is outrageous. But it’s “not wrong”. Everyone works in fear. There is zero autonomy even at director and above levels. Expect to be treated like a child over semantics until you are eventually let go. Leadership continues to point the problem everywhere except the toxic source.

Pros

- A handful of really great coworkers who actually want to help and see you and the company succeed - Flexible schedule/ample PTO & paid holidays (pro & con - will get into this in cons) - Get to work with some fun clients & products - Full health benefits, including vision & dental

Cons

- ELT is very out of touch with what the actual day to day work is and what their teams do - The ample PTO & paid holidays is nice in theory, but for those who work directly with clients, it usually still means checking in on days off or work just piles up and once you're back in office you have even more to do - No one takes accountability; the same issues will be brought up to management over and over, yet nothing is done to fix the issues - Training is minimal, especially when people become managers who have never managed people before - In general, most employees are overloaded with client work and the work/life balance is nonexistent - No clear steps or actions outlined to be promoted so promotions feel unattainable, yet people from outside of the company will be hired in at higher positions than longstanding employees - Fully remote and can feel like you're isolated
