Pros

Some client teams and people are great. Junior employees are a joy to mentor. Good benefits and depending on account and time of year it can be easy to step away for errands, etc.

Cons

Leadership will gaslight you so hard you’ll struggle to tell night from day. I raised bandwidth concerns to HR and was served a disciplinary doc a week later, despite recently being promoted, high visibility, previously called an MVP, and staffed on top accounts. My salary increased by 50% once I left (finally in line with market), and leadership scrambled to backfill, staffing AD slots with SAMs. Everyone is leaving. It’s a mess and top performers are continually taken advantage of. Seriously, don’t do it. At the very least, reach out to other previous employees before joining for more POVs. It was the best decision of my career to leave.

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.
