Pros

If you are a conservative while male you will do well here.

Cons

If you have any other political affiliation, are a woman, or minority, you will. suffer. They promote you by giving your more tasks, without any additional pay. I was told to "be quiet". I complained about inappropriate sexual language and was told to handle it myself. The man was favored because "he had a wife and kids to feed". I was told to take down a "Happy Juneteenth" social media post to honor the new national holiday ending slavery because it made us appear to support "black lives matter." RUN!

Pros

Great supportive local environment, people called to work there to support the mission.

Cons

Corporate digital leadership is disjointed and systems are chaotic. Actual delivered campaigns are inevitably flawed and mis managed. Retaliatory, narcisstic, abusive corporate digital leadership. Constant systems changes and zero assistance in navigating. More and more digital agency and other jobs outsourced to Asia. Salespeople are exhausted and burned out by programs failing. Zero accountability taken by Ad Ops team for mistakes or extrene lag time in responses from internal automated systems. Salary cuts to 'help the company' plays on the mission minded employees, taking advantage of employees good intentions by underpaying them compared to industry. No 401K match.
