Pros

- Hybrid schedule (2-3x per week in office) - Compensation package is decent for industry - Good resume builder (F500 company) - Good work/life balance. Not a lot of late nights. In office days most folks leave between 4-5pm

Cons

- Frequent changes in leadership (3 CMOs and 3 VPs of Media/Growth in last 3 years) has caused confusion and lack of clarity on department goals. - Marketing analytics is a fairly new dept and lacks the resources/infrastructure to effectively meet demands. - Little to no process, structure, or organization. Expectation is to adapt to a broken system. - A lot of friction and tension amongst internal teams. Constant push/pull for budget/resources. - Many decisions are made in a vacuum without data or input from day to day teams who manage programs. - Not a modern work culture. No company sponsored events, old-school hierarchy/structure, meeting heavy days without clear agendas and next steps.

Less pay then average. management won't hesitate to throw you under the bus. No real career advancements once you get to OSP 4. Anual raises are always only 3%.
