      Pros

      Good starting pay. Good benefits that start day one. You reveive a lot of paid time off and paid holidays.

      Cons

      Depends on the manager you have in terms of daily routine and stress. I am very lucky and have a great manager so i really enjoy the job. That can't be said for all teams.

      Pearson Embanet-Marketing: Most Oppressive Culture

      Pros

      The ending of a work day is the best part, you know you have at least 12 hours before you have to return.

      Cons

      ELK GROVE IL Interim Vice President of Marketing -Leads by pointing the finger and passing the blame. Impossible to engage with. And the next in line is taking the exact same approach. Marketing Culture -A culture of nastiness, different that other departments, in fact, we even have an addendum to the employee handbook with the most oppressive guidelines. The amount of turnover is appalling. Location -Most cookie cutter office park imaginable in the middle of nowhere. Far from the city, public transportation. Work life balance -Nonexistent, there is a last minute project every other day from Marketing leadership. Inflexible approach -Working from home is finally being explored after turnover has gotten the best. Dated Office Feel -Raggedy office furniture Forced Social Events Lack of support Training

      Constant restructuring, big layoffs every two years, terrible morale, no room for growth, raises/promotions are practically non-existent, everyone is underpaid
