Pros

Good benefits, enjoyed the people, competitive compensation

Cons

- doesn't have a clear, consistent, and concrete telecommute and flex-schedule policy, when your office is located in Dunwoody, this is a real problem. And no, "work with your manager" is not a policy. - Environment became toxic and political as the business started to show signs of a downturn. - Needless layers of middle management getting in the way of progress and innovation. The smallest deliverables on the most inconsequential of projects needed to be approved, revised, re-approved, edited, delayed, revised, re-re-approved etc... by no less than 6 people. It was impossible to get anything done. - Executive town halls were basically just an hour of MBA-jargon vomit. Making it difficult to understand exactly what the goals and initiatives were. - Instructions from middle and upper management were equally dressed in "manager lingo" which I guess is great way of saying a whole lot without really saying anything at all. - Never-ending re-orgs stagnate growth for non-management employees as they are in a constant state of having to both prove yourself to a new boss every 6 months and waiting for the next re-org to come before any changes are made.

Largest Automotive Advertising Website on the Planet. Excellent benefits. Descent Base pa

Cons

Late Start on SEO to the Site. Opened the Back door for Competitors to Achilles for Industry Leader New CEO = Immediately dropped compensation to Dealer Sales. Stress level to provide success in all areas of requirements are vast. Particularly to outer area Markets. with Added travel Monthly it is Huge. Huge Political atmosphere. Its not about what you know , but who you know and cuddle up to. Its a Huge illusion! Think what you want, but play the game. Most importantly! Drink the Company Koolaid. and be careful of expressing your opinion !

Pros

Good pay, amazing atmoshpere, pretty good benefits, tons of advancment opportunity

Cons

Bad prescription plan: Have to pay cash for prescriptions then get reimbursed later if you remember to fill out the form and send the receipt but this only takes effect after your deductible is met. Also so much constant change that each manager has a different response to the changes.
