Pros
You grow really fast as a marketer. I was able to build my resume with a bunch of good MarTech and it helped lead me to much better things.
Cons
Where do I even start? First, there is no respect from the CEO. She is way too involved in the day-to-day, tracking our work with screenshots and digging in to personal messages. Next, no fair bonuses. The only appreciation you get for a job well done is a “bright spot” on Friday, a meeting at the end of the week that nobody wants to be on. Trust me, they have the money to bonus people, but the CEO and her husband, the COO, would rather use it to buy a new house and go on vacations. My only motivation to work was to not get yelled at in front of everyone. Third, pay is all over the place and unfair. People in my same role, less time with the company, and same amount of professional experience, are paid 50% more than me. Not an exaggeration. Finally, the leadership team doesn’t care about the employees that get the work done. “Everyone is replaceable.”
