Pros

Company offers free Bagels on Wednesday Company offers free beer on Friday Partners provide generous employee discounts Employee referral bonus is high... if you can live with yourself for recommending this job to a friend.

Cons

Layoffs last year created an environment of distrust and dissatisfaction. Reorganization lead to increased demands on those left. Senior management promised raises and promotions to a large group leftover in exchange for taking on an increased workload (in my case- combining the job of 4 people into one) and did not follow through. Reviews are subjective and do not show the true value of an employee. You are more harshly reprimanded for interacting with coworkers than you are rated on the merit of your work. Dissatisfaction throughout the organization causes workers to be nasty backstabbers. There is no reason to work harder than necessary at this company because chances are the person next to you is on Facebook all day making more money than you do and being recommended for a raise. The new corporate raise policy excludes all employees from a yearly COLA and instead highly rewards employees with promotions and raises for which they are not qualified.

Pros

Get to work with some pretty big brands. Your peers are good people, and there are a lot of happy hours since everyone quits.

Cons

It's an ROI shop. There is no creativity in this agency if you're in the marketing department. There's an amazing amount of back stabbing by senior management. The war stories we tell would make a great book. The new executive team is incompetent. None of the goals they set for themselves were hit. It's a real "them vs. us" type of environment. They all have derogatory nicknames, and are largely hated. Not disliked. Hated.

A dead end company.

Pros

My colleagues and a paycheck at the end of the week.

Cons

When I first started to work here I was enthused to bring my technical knowledge and creativity to the table but this job is all about factory work. Long hours without compensation, repetitious to a fault and a VP who doesn't believe in family values. This job is more suited to an entry level shooter looking to make his bones. When the economy and job market gets better, I'll be gone.
