Pros

Good resume builder. Provides tools and resources for basic phone and email skills. Fast-paced environment, learn how to work under pressure. Flexibility (when it's convenient for them). Most employee's (including some management) are humble, fun, hard-working and honest. They were only reason I stayed as long as I did.

Cons

As long as you are on time, keep your mouth shut and don't voice your opinion...EVER you will be (for the most part) left alone to be over-worked and receive mediocre pay and benefits. Confrontation is avoided from almost all employees, including most of management and talking behind people's backs is standard. All of the long-time employees are very unhappy and will tell anyone, including management that the only reason they are still working there is because the company may sell one day and they will receive a large sum of money. It is disturbing because the 'long-timers' are some of the most amazing people I have EVER met and are stuck working for this soul-sucking company. I am hoping the company sell's soon so they can all leave this negative environment. Their computer system is outdated and they should be working out of SAP to be compatible with most of their customer's. THE MAIN REASON I LEFT WAS DUE TO PARTSSOURCE POLITICS AND FAVORITISM. A few other con's; micromanagement, negativity, poor communication skills, keep people around who suck up and yet don’t perform, thinking only about short-term results, VINDICTIVE and false hopes of advancing.

Pros

The marketing department has tremendous opportunity for growth and professionalization. There's a genuine long runway ahead to establish more formalized processes, build structured systems, and elevate marketing practices across the organization. The foundation is there—it just needs intentional development and strategic implementation to reach its full potential.

Cons

Executive leadership lacks internal alignment and communication. There's a disconnect between departments where decision-making isn't coordinated, resulting in siloed efforts and duplicated work.

Pros

There are a number of genuinely talented, smart people across functions, and I learned a lot from the colleagues around me.

Cons

Prospective applicants and those interested in acquiring the company may want to read the reviews here with a heavy dose of discernment and skepticism. A number of the recent positive reviews appear to have been at the encouragement of management and HR, and the timing seems connected to the company preparing for a sale, so they may not reflect the typical employee experience. Based on my own time here, I would not recommend the role to anyone who prioritizes their wellbeing, meaningful work, and work-life balance. The environment took a real toll on mine. The organization is top-heavy, and leadership's attention often seems directed at the wrong priorities. Leadership also protects the wrong people and has little insight into how stretched most teams are, often with few resources. Many talented people stay mainly because of the promise of a future equity or stock payout rather than the work itself, which points to a retention problem rooted in incentives rather than genuine engagement.
