Pros

Easy to get a job Have a great "mission"

Cons

Run away from this company. They are horribly mismanaged. This company doesn't have any smart leaders. When they don't know how to manage their business, they hire a new VP and reorganize the company (every 18-20 months). Most of the people in Director or above positions have NO IDEA how to run a business or manage people, they provide no value and are "stuck" in the old ways (this is how we have always done it). It's all about who you know - if you are friends with (or have dirt on) the C-suite, you have it made in the shade - if not, don't expect any career movement. Zero opportunities for career growth or advancement, they don't give raises or promotions to current employees and offer more money to new hires. Because of all the re-orgs the business spins in circles, every year we get a new boss and they have a new direction. So we change our course to align with the new boss' goals, create new processes, and try to learn the "new way" of working....just to have them "organized out" of the job in 12-16 months. Then there is a new boss, new goals, and the process starts all over again - rinse and repeat over and over again. Work ANYWHERE else!

We understand that the marketing team has undergone more change than other parts of the business. We recognize that ‘how we’ve always done it’ must adapt, and that requires changes in leadership, organization, and process. For compensation, we price every role in the business individually. We include every employee in the annual employee incentive bonus program. We take your feedback seriously and appreciate you sharing this feedback.

Pros

- Mission - Work life balance - Pay - Modernization of the workplace

Cons

- Every year benefits are reduced with terrible and tone deaf justifications. - Added benefits tend only to benefit new employees. - Perception that the company does not value long term employees (suspension of defined benefit program) - Poor ESPP discount - Lack of transparency on how AEIP bonus is calculated - Workflow tools are still extremely cumbersome after years of promises to fix them - Lack of enforcement of hybrid work policy. Many people never come in and are never spoken to about it.
