Pros

Opportunity to work with big clients and grow. RTO is only once a week if you’re within a specific range of the office. Smart people. Unlimited PTO.

Cons

They cut benefits coverage, which felt like a pay cut. They DELAYED healthcare benefits communications and the enrollment period. They announced RTO in a very apathetic way (2 weeks heads up via email at 6pm on a Friday). Obsessed with being AI-first, forcing us to push products on clients that we don’t believe in. Company success is not strong and leadership is forcing deep integration across agencies. Staffing is like pulling teeth, where approvals take forever in a best case scenario or you just have to suck it up and take on the extra work of finance doesn’t see value in giving you a break.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
