- If you are interviewing for a "field marketer" position on one of the regional teams, you must understand that this is more like a sales support/administrative position working more or less directly for your local sales team. Marketing is expected to accept any request the sales team makes no matter how useless, so very little time is left for any actual marketing to be done
- Many people end up working long hours WELL beyond 9-5 M-F to make up for the enormous workload
- Marketing teams are extremely understaffed (hence the crazy workload) yet somehow still underpaid
- Extreme culture of urgency that is very stressful to work in, last minute deadlines are basically an everyday occurrence (nothing is an actual emergency, mostly just poor planning on others' part)
- Sales leadership is basically nonexistent and will look the other way when producers cause issues and/or stir up interpersonal conflicts in their working environment as long as they are making enough $ for the company (and sometimes not even then)
- Producers are allowed to fail upwards and not carry their own weight while marketing is expected to pick up their slack and watch bad actors get rewarded instead. Not at all motivating for continuing to work hard and put in your best effort... not only will you not see any of that commission you work so hard to help others get, they'll have the audacity to treat you disrespectfully on top of it
- Diversity is a joke, their most recent DEI report focused almost entirely on their efforts to uplift (white) women because there are very little people of color working at this company. Again, I give them points for trying, but it's just lip service if there are barely any actual POC to be found anywhere
