Pros

- low stress work environment - unlimited PTO - remote work

Cons

the work is EXTREMELY boring and mundane. if you're looking to be engaged in your work and company culture, this is not the place. everyone including management seems completely checked out. it's ironic that they try and position themselves as internal communications experts while having little to no communication with their own staff. the writing is on the wall--people on every level leaving the agency like rapid fire, business extremely slow, salaries being cut, yet leadership keeps up the same narrative that everything is fine. upper-level management pushing all the work onto junior-level roles, showing up late to meetings, missing deadlines but holding junior-level staff members to a different standard.
