Pros

There were many nice people with whom I worked.

Cons

As the company became increasingly focused on their quarterly earnings and neglected any form of care for their clients, the corporate climate became unbearable. The things that we were asked to do and sell we ridiculous and good for the company and awful for the client. I had to leave because the company had wandered so far from its original purpose and mission that it was actually painful to be a part of. And management was horrific and irrational. Some of the most fearful and miserable people I've met in my career.

Pros

Great supportive local environment, people called to work there to support the mission.

Cons

Corporate digital leadership is disjointed and systems are chaotic. Actual delivered campaigns are inevitably flawed and mis managed. Retaliatory, narcisstic, abusive corporate digital leadership. Constant systems changes and zero assistance in navigating. More and more digital agency and other jobs outsourced to Asia. Salespeople are exhausted and burned out by programs failing. Zero accountability taken by Ad Ops team for mistakes or extrene lag time in responses from internal automated systems. Salary cuts to 'help the company' plays on the mission minded employees, taking advantage of employees good intentions by underpaying them compared to industry. No 401K match.
