Pros

you'll find a few diamonds in the rough, but they won't be staying long. "most: people are nice

Cons

-only white 50-year-olds and older in leadership, and few people of color throughout the entire org. Typical midwest white company. -the 50-year-old white people really cling to their titles, so "get in line" -The new CMO does not understand how to staff and support a marketing org, or problem-solve, nor does he comprehend the roles of the marketing teams. His idea of marketing is events and interviews that feature him. -Quad pretends to be an NYC-based company. They are HQ in Wisconsin with a satellite office in NYC, an office the new CMO thought would put the company on the map but it's off the beaten path on a small street. The CMO spent a ton of money remodeling an office space to have a kitchen and a small boardroom on the main level - A vanity project for the CMO. -Startups operate more efficiently and successfully than Quad -product offering is a complete mess. No one really understands the value of Quad for clients.
