Pros

PTO. Period. They give everyone new 21 days and 9 company holidays. That's really the only pro.

Cons

I would advise anyone who wishes to grow or be professionally developed to not work for the Research Engagement Services Team. Worst department ever. All about numbers and micromanaging. A new lady is in charge of the department and she's awful. They hire external people as managers (with no management experience) to run fully developed teams and basically ruin them. Sales walks all over this department. They're very weird about Work at Home, flexible schedules. They try to control everything and micromanage you. They promote people based on how well they input numbers. They blacklist people if they want to purse other opportunities within the company. They make you apply and interview for promotions, instead of giving them based on merit. The VP of the department is so out of touch, I don't even know what he does. I can go on. But honestly, I would avoid working in this department. Go into account management, go into sales, go into events. Stay away. You're treated as a second class citizen when you work in good ole RES.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
