Pros
The culture is relaxed and friendly, lots of flexibility, some people come in really early and leave early, some come in late and leave later. This div. is run by the EVP of Marketing and she has created a working environment based on the belief that we will get our work done without being controlled or lorded over. In the end it makes for happier employees who achieve big results, accomplishing more than some of the divisions that are located in MN, which tends to be a more controlling and petty environment. On most days I brought my dog to work along with some of my fellow employees. That was great!
Cons
We were a smaller division and our creative and marketing offices were located in RI, but finance, sales and purchasing were in MN. Greetings was often treated like the "red-headed" step-child and it was difficult to get all of the support needed, consequently we retained a lot of the functions these departments were responsible for doing. In other words we did the work and passed it along for filing/tracking purposes.
