Pros

Great place to learn if you're new and on the good account. Team can be very supportive of your growth and push you to excel where you want.

Cons

Currently on a horrible client that demands fast turn-around times. Management doesn't push back and allows rushed or last minute launches with vague or incomplete specs, budgets, creatives. Very burnt out and not learning anything at the moment. Constantly just launching campaigns with no idea how they are performing. Promised many times that promotions were coming but been hanging on for literal years. Haven't moved up once. Pay is a bit low. My pay is a result of state laws that require a minimum to be met. Haven't had an actual pay increase that was directly tied to the work i was doing.

Pros

- The employees you work with are all great people, they have done a really good job of hiring great personalities and education people.

Cons

- Return to Office policy is silly as they requested 3 locations to return 3 days a week but if you are outside of those areas you do not have to return. It should be a return for all or a return for no one. There is no financial benefit of returning or incentive, just management overview - Of the 7 years I worked here they have given a raise 2 times. It is frustrating year in and year out to lose money to inflation and for the employees to just smile and nod. - Consistently adding new tools to monitor employees
