Pros

Free Coffee, Red Bull, Soda, Fruit and Granola Bars. Flip Flops. I hear the office in Denver is fast paced, you know sales, but the vibe there is much better than Ft Myers. They are incomparable.

Cons

Unless your in Management and make over 50K, 8 out of 10 of all employees in all divisions are looking for employment elsewhere. In speaking with alot of folks, I do not recall anyone who had a GOOD mid year review in July. I or anyone I know is unaware of any sort of Career path they may have for you. As far as I can see in the last year I do not know of any new positions (Directors, Managers, National Acct Managers etc.), becoming available since the AutoTrader acquisition were obtained from within. If you thought when you come in the door is to grow and become valuable, your fire will start to dwindle in about 3 months and wonder why no one told you, well here it is. We all here are not going to voice it to a new hire, but we are telling you here. The only training you will receive is what you will need to do the job they are hiring you for, there is nothing avaiable for growth and development. The list can go on and on. If your passion is Digital Marketing, I would look elsewhere first. If you want to learn something new, go for it at your own risk, but have a six month exit plan and learn as much as you can.

Pros

The place is fun. Unbelievable office! - panarama views of the Colorado Rockies and the Denver downtown skyline. We've got a basketball hoop in office! They provide great snacks, food and energy drinks to help us charge through the day. It's got the $$$ and vision to grow properly which provides a good opportunity for people who actually want to work hard and accomplish goals. It's fast paced, which I love, makes the day go by quick. The company has evolved for the better in the past year, some bumps in the road, sure, but overall, we have a clear idea of our goals and game plan, and our management communicates effectively with us. I feel like there has been a lot of bad press in the past, but I also know a lot of the people who have whined, and I can tell you, a lot of them are not people I'd want to work with for a long time - just my two cents. Pay is good for Sales, flexible hours, they're pretty understanding for family obligations and taking care of your kids, etc. I hope I can work with them for a long time to come.

Cons

Nothing that any company doesn't have, maybe too many processes now that they're a bigger corporation, but that happens when you grow up. Account service thinks Sales are selling rainbows and unicorns, sales thinks account service aren't servicing customers well enough, yadayadayada. But seriously, what company doesn't think those things. The company actually kills it in sales, and Haystak is also a 2 time Customer Satisfaction Award winner for all Google Premier SMB partners.
