Pros

Senior management is very candid about business conditions and strives to retain people rather than cut jobs when times get tough. The company is becoming more and more diversified, increasing the stable base the company is already built on. Lots of integrity - way more than you would expect to find in a public company in this industry. Best company I've worked for so far and have been doing this well over 30 years. You might even find loyalty here.

Cons

Not many cons. Chief would be a lack of bonuses. Sales and higher management folks may achieve bonuses but there isn't much for everyone else, not even a Christmas bonus - which I've never encountered before. But it's certainly not a deal breaker.

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.
