Pros

Honestly, it's so bad I don't even think there's a pro to working here. I lost brain cells working here.

Cons

Literally the worst place I have ever worked. I almost had a mental breakdown in this job. They over work you and expect you to work all hours of the day. When I interviewed, they said that there's no emergency in marketing so it's a chill work place but that farther than the truth. EVERYTHING is an emergency here. I regretted leaving my stable job at another amazing workplace to join a terrible company. The pay is not good for the industry and the benefits are ok. Don't let them fool you with the unlimited PTO because you will never use it since you'll have projects due every day. People couldn't even take sick days because of the work they had to do. Thank God I left this awful place and found another amazing job. Please don't make the mistake of joining this company. The way it's going, they're going to run out of money and and will be shutting down soon. *fingers crossed*

Pros

The only thing I truly enjoyed about working here was the people - excluding the higher-ups up to a certain level.

Cons

This place is definitely on its last legs. Company values? Absolutely non-existent. They've tried to make a big deal about it yet the layoffs have been consistent every few months for the past 2 years, including the most recent wave literally 2 days before Christmas. Leadership is way too busy patting each other on the back and spending the company money on holiday parties meant to stroke their own egos - all while announcing no salary increases / bonus for the year. RTO is basically forced because they value "collaboration" when in reality they just want to justify spending insane amounts of money on unneeded office space.

Pros

Free booze? Can’t think of any others.

Cons

The Place is the worst led organization I have ever been a part of. The CEO only values blind loyalty - he keeps the dumb ones around who continue to tell him how great he is, while everyone gets drunk on thursdays and contributes to his ego. Then the minute you challenge him ( or them) they fire you. What a circus of a company. The smart ones all left about a year ago when the CFO was asked to leave (or possibly bailed as fast as she could) because everyone around her was completely useless and wouldn’t listen to a thing she said. For a while they were actually hiring great people - but now they’re all gone. Absolute nonsense of a place.
