Pros
Talented group of people (most). Senior leadership is very knowledgable. Some managers value their work, the company and leadership. Basic benefits. Hybrid schedule.
Cons
This is a "preference over competence" culture where ego takes priority over results. Leadership is characterized by chronic inconsistency: direction is vague, yet you are judged against uncommunicated standards. When gaps in support occur, brand managers deflect blame downward and weaponize documentation after the fact. Accountability is non-existent. Certain managers in leadership are often inaccessible due to extended absences/PTO, and raising compliance or process concerns leads to immediate exclusion rather than solutions. It is not a psychologically safe environment...challenging the status quo or refusing to participate in "mean-girl" office politics will work against you. The lack of diversity is glaring; the few POC on staff are noticeably quiet for a reason. Prepare to prioritize "stroking egos" or your mental health will suffer. There are talented individuals within the company, but the overall system does not support them, unless it involves favoritism. Without major changes in leadership accountability, communication structure, and internal culture, these issues will continue.
