Pros

None - I'd give zero stars if I could

Cons

- Breaks promises to employees, stunts your growth and underpays you. Pay is WAY below market rate. - They layoff tons of people quarterly, the worst one was a mass layoff a week before Christmas in 2022 and it'll happen again this year. - Essentially holds people as slaves making them do the work of roles higher than their title and pay. - Leadership is shady and loves to throw money at each other and nobody else. - Hires people in Mexico and Canada over promoting U.S. employees because they can pay them a smaller salary. - Does not do performance reviews, some people have waited 2 years to receive a review. - You have no control over your growth, even if you are a 10/10 employee so you might as well slack off and take advantage of the "unlimited" PTO if you decide to go to this hell hole. - Remember... Marketing companies are good at what they do, they market themselves and make it seem like they are great, but please stay away from this place. They wont value you even if you put years in and are a loyal employee. Look elsewhere the company is bound to go bankrupt. Again, zero stars all around if I could.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
