Pros

- We can listen to music and have our cell phones on us. That's honestly it.

Cons

- There is a significant amount of nepotism from the employers, as this is a privately owned research marketing company. Despite having all of the available resources to work from home, only one individual employee in particular is allowed to work at home because they live in the next state over and has children. - Sometimes the internet would run really slow or not even work at all. So you're just sitting there doing nothing while having to wait for it to get fixed. Hence why remote work should be an option. - You're still required to come in if it snows. The way CF Search Marketing determines whether you are required to come in or not during adverse weather conditions is if the local bank is closed. - The company is located in an unsanitary office suite with dead flies all over the window sills and stairwells. They do not clean this building. - There was a fiasco with duplicate content that the employer got mad about. How many times can the content writers write about the same topic without repeating what they wrote before? - The vulgarity from the employer to the employees is very unprofessional and completely unacceptable. - There are no office phones in the room if you work in the upper floor. Therefore, if you have to call someone or receive a call from someone in or outside the company, you have to use your own personal cell phone. - The employers wouldn't even come into work at all sometimes. Whether they go to that convention that they go to or choose not to come in at all, they will not let anybody know that they're not coming in. - Whenever an employee has an idea in a meeting and the employer doesn't like it, he will say, "OK, OK, OK, OK..." and not hear out what that employee has to say. - Meetings are absolutely meaningless if they have nothing to do with you or what your job entails. - If you are a temp employed through a staffing agency, the employer at CF Search Marketing will not care to remember your name or your accomplishments. - They're actually paying for their website hits. Fortunately YouTube catches on to fake YouTube views and locks the view count at a certain number. - Forced 30 minute lunch. No real work flexibility. - The pay is outrageously low.

Pros

Good people doing the daily work. PPC team is valued and has an experienced manager who advocates for entire office in NH. 2 offices: one is in Florida for the Sales Team mostly the other is SEO, SM, IT, and PPC. Not much oversight from the department bosses if you get the standard work done on time. Usually just enough parking at NH office as it's not downtown. Occassional pizza Friday's and frequent doughnuts.

Cons

Regular usage of tone-deaf emails leaving you wondering if management was just busy or too upset to be friendly. Favoritism runs deep and starts at the top. It's possible to stay invisible a little too easily, unless you get on anyone's short list, then it's micro-management time. Performance Reviews didn't happen for years, then suddenly they were happening, but then they died out after submittal with no feedback, raises, or restructuring of company procedures. Some people seemed to not be judged by the same stick as everyone else. The company wants 1000 percent quantity and quality without the time to do it. Not much room to change departments unless someone quits. People with less time at the company and less experience in general were hired on teams instead of others inexplicably. When the workload scales up rapidly, there's no forgiveness at the end of each month, so prepare to be scapegoated. Communication between and even within teams was quite poor, and it was almost impossible to talk to managers progressively. Also, they get away with an expensive but laughable healthplan with scarce maternity care that they had before the ACA standards came in because their main office is in Florida. HR was nonexistent for months, then only in Florida, and then switched a new one with no notice, then missing again, which means the absentee company founders "take over". They did hire another HR person finally to run payroll, but not to take care of employee questions in other areas. You see the not-so-fun pattern here?

Pros

When you are left alone to crank out the nuts and bolts of the work, it can be easy to get into the zone and the day goes by fast. PPC is a transferable skill.

Cons

Google "Pierre Fiorini Quora" and scroll. The guy likes commenting on race relations. That's who you work for. Dude would also leave the country sometimes and straight-up not tell anyone until we saw him sharing Facebook posts. Micromanagement, lack of trust of any kind. No structure, massive favoritism. Salespeople have no idea what they're selling and are generally clueless. The owner likes to talk over you to get you to shut up by saying "OK OK OK OK" until you stop talking. Frequently takes cell phone calls in the middle of meetings. Packed 3 or four to an office. Archaic methods of running PPC ads. Innovation is stifled because you're always putting out fires. Company is run on a crisis-to-crisis basis. Pay is not competitive. No room for advancement. Always looking over your shoulder. Definitely do not work here or do business with this company.
