Pros

The overall Benefits package is fairly good, and the amount of vacation accrued for time worked is very good (144 hours after 1 year of full time)

Cons

Since I started working here 4 years ago, The amount of work that has been placed on the Security department has more than quadrupled, they've eliminated 2 other departments and given their work load to Security. This wouldn't be a problem if we didn't have corporate managers yelling at us to perfectly perform jobs that we were never actually trained to do in any way. In the last 4 months they've the department back so badly that of the 400 or so hours that the security officers have left of vacation we can't afford to take any of it, because we don't have the personnel to cover all the shifts. The upper management routinely makes "cutbacks" and changes to operations with no thought or care as to how much more difficult it makes our jobs. This year we didn't receive cost of living increases, yet the auction had plenty of money to install several new fences and shiny new signs for all the buildings.

Pros

Adify has a history of hiring excellent people. After the merger into Cox Digital, many great people remain with the organization. I am hopeful that new CDS management will deliver stability, growth, and better day-to-day management than Adify enjoyed in the 2008-2010 era.

Cons

During the 2008-2010 era, Adify suffered from poor executive leadership, fractious internal politics, and insufficient agility in the face of a rapidly evolving marketplace. The organization still bears scars from those troubled years. However the new Cox Digital leadership team shows promise and appears to be making progress at turning the ship around... it's too early to tell how sucessful the new direction will be.
