Pros

I worked with people who showed up and worked hard. I did gain experience that I’ve taken with me.

Cons

I’m being honest because this experience stayed with me. The biggest issue for me was leadership and the day-to-day environment. Communication often felt discouraging instead of helpful, and feedback didn’t come across in a way that supported growth. Over time, it wears you down. There were also moments where interactions didn’t feel respectful. It could make you question yourself, even when you were doing your job and putting in real effort. That part was difficult. I showed up, did what was expected, and stayed committed. But it was hard to feel supported, and over time it became overwhelming. It had a significant impact on my mental and emotional well-being. Leaving was not only a relief, but it took time to recover from how overwhelming the experience had become. Because of my experience, I wouldn’t recommend working here. After leaving, I’ve talked with former coworkers, and those conversations helped me realize this wasn’t an isolated experience. It had a lasting impact on me and took time to recover from.

Pros

CEOs listen and care Career growth Fair compensation Hybrid to fully remote Supportive teams Overall genuinely good people Growing company

Cons

Busy work Campaign performance and client happiness is everything. This is prioritized above anything else. So if you’re good you stay. If you aren’t good, you leave upset. More social events needed for teams

Pros

Remote work and some coworkers who are supportive despite the environment.

Cons

This company is fundamentally mismanaged and emotionally exhausting to work for. Leadership is largely uninvolved, provides little to no direction, and operates without a clear strategy or vision. As a result, teams feel disjointed, reactive, and constantly scrambling with no alignment across the organization. Sales routinely overpromises to potential clients, creating unrealistic expectations that employees are then expected to fulfill without adequate resources or support. This leads to disappointed clients, extreme stress for employees, and a constant sense of being set up to fail. The pressure to make up for leadership’s poor decisions is relentless. The internal culture is catty and driven by favoritism rather than merit. Collaboration feels performative, and there is a noticeable lack of trust across teams. Leadership appears more concerned with optics than with addressing real problems, which has created a fear-based environment where speaking up is discouraged. Compensation and benefits are well below expectations. There is no 401k match and no paid maternity leave, which is especially concerning given that the workforce is entirely female. Coordinators are severely underpaid relative to their workload, doing the bulk of execution while executives reap the rewards. The imbalance is obvious and demoralizing. Training and skill development are essentially nonexistent. There is no meaningful investment in professional growth or long-term career development. Burnout is common and normalized rather than addressed. Overall, this company takes advantage of motivated employees and offers very little in return. The issues here are not isolated incidents — they are systemic. Until leadership is willing to take accountability and enact real change, nothing will improve.
