Pros

Worked with some great people - very helpful and friendly. Generally a great work environment (I was in a regional office)

Cons

Upper management was duplicitous. Acted friendly enough, but had us training overseas partners to replace our office's workload. Laid off after 6 months when they lost the client, instead of trying to find open positions within the company within the region.

Pros

The coworkers I had here were extremely nice and overall welcoming. The job itself is something new most days, which I enjoy. Always something to learn and always resources around you to help. Most of my co-workers had over 10 years of experience, so lots of knowledge around you. Good for an entry-level job.

Cons

Management treats everyone outside of management as a lesser. The idea that the business is becoming a "marketing experience company" is half-baked and is purely for investors to not run away. The company is extremely outdated and has failed to adopt updated management styles. As more people retire, jobs aren't replaced or even filled in, work just gets distributed to the rest of the non-management workers. Not a lot of room for growth, lots of managers are brought over from companies they buy out reducing your chances even more. Management lacks knowledge about the job itself, and most likely couldn't do their employee's jobs for a day. This put me in a spot where I often communicated with a VP because three people in between us had no idea what the original ask meant. They send out surveys to workers, only to then try to justify the poor results and ignore larger issues completely. You can tell the executives are all "Yes-men" who would never dare speak up to the CEO. The departments that make all the money to fund whatever "creative agency" they like to create a few times a year get ignored and kills morale.
