Pros

THE PEOPLE. Some of the most genuine, fun, caring people work here and they become part of your family. It is kind of like going through war with your platoon. If you have t*ts you will definitely be hired and likely promoted very quickly.

Cons

Extremely poor morale. Almost everyone is miserable and just waiting on the company to sell so they can get what they hope is a big chunk of change. Everyone openly talks about this except for the CEO who knows what is really going on. This has created such a bitter, distrusting, grumpy group of people who have become lazy because they don't want to put effort into helping a company like this succeed. Understandably. There is a definite favoritism towards certain individuals. They are able to grow and increase responsibilities without showing any real competency in the first place. There are also MANY individuals that have needed to be fired multiple times but continue to receive third, fourth, and fifth chances. They have lost a lot of very smart, hard-working people because the CEO was unwilling to listen to anyone but his few goons that tell him "everything is okay out there". Meanwhile 75% of the company is interviewing and passing around their resume to the rest of the industry. They will continue to lose people and the CEO will continue to stick his head in the sand and pretend everything is rainbows and butterflies.

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.
