Pros

Work with really great, smart people Work from home The people who work here are fun. Smart. Go-getters. You'll get to work with and meet some really brilliant people along the way. Their annual event is awesome. High energy, exciting, and worth the hard work and long days.

Cons

Disorganized leadership Lack of direction Not family friendly Lousy pay, no bonuses, no raises No room for growth Insufficient organization/support when it comes to technology (and you must provide your own computer) No real onboarding process. Starting here is overwhelming. Stubborn and disconnected leadership can make for a frustrating, demeaning, and sometimes hostile work environment. No cross-training. Lots of gaps in knowledge. Lots of questions about who owns what get in the way of getting things done efficiently. Leadership picks favorites ... leading to disproportionate workloads for some, while others skate by with less work, fewer rules and consequences, and less supervisor involvement.

Pros

MProf produces excellent content, which creates an opportunity to connect with some of the greatest minds in the marketing world. Also, it's a "virtual" company, so most of the 30 +/- team members work from home, with occasional team gatherings in California and other locations. Since it's been around since 2000, it's fairly well known among U.S. marketing professionals.

Cons

There are some fun, smart and creative team members at MProfs. However, too many control freaks have been assigned to leadership positions. They forget the big-picture priorities and tend to demotivate those they supervise.
