Pros

-A lot of like-minded co-workers. Felt like I was coming in to work with friends rather than fellow employees. -Nice location in the middle of Milwaukee, easy to reach.

Cons

-Unclear goals and work flow. Things seemed to switch from week to week. Often without consulting the people it would affect the most. -More of a focus on profit rather than staff integrity. Once went through an all staff meeting were the COO talked about the company's atmosphere being geared more towards 'fun' to than quickly be followed up by the CEO stressing that it is all second fiddle to bringing in profit. -Clear favoritism. Would often be told by upper management about how the company was struggling financially. Yet later we would see most of the sales team posing for a group selfie at a baseball game, or photos of the CEO and COO poolside in California at another conference (which always came across as a questionable move considering the pair were dating during the time I was employed at Margle). -Lack of Foresight. Upper management often made moves that came across as big gambles which hurt the staff when they fell through. Like hiring people from out of state and only keeping them on for four months, asking for overtime on numerous big projects that only blew out the budget, or building up a large sales team when their is little-to-no production staff. -Control Issues. Despite the fact the CEO and COO were busy with many other things, they insisted on reviewing everything that was created in the media side of business. Even though they had not one, but two other levels of quality checkers already in place. Over time, it really slowed down our work flow.
