Pros

Co-workers were extremely helpful and friendly.

Cons

Lack of legitimate training and support. No clear vision for the immediate future. There needs to be an understanding that the future is here and it's digital. Terrible management practices. Refusal to spend money on tools needed to ensure success. No creativity or planning when it comes to specific events. Lack of awareness on multiple levels. I could go on and on...

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.
