Pros

Tons of paid time off and, depending on your manager, super easy to request off. Most positions allow you to work from home under certain circumstances. Relaxed atmosphere. More casual than business casual. Midtown location is ideal for commuters.

Cons

The pay - one of the lowest paying in our industry, entry level is around 29,000. Internal promotions are hard to come by - you see more external hires than internal promotions. Work/Life balance is difficult when in higher positions. Severely lacking structure - different divisions struggle with communication and coordination. Currently in the process of moving downtown - a total inconvenience to most of the commuting employees.

Pros

A lot of nice people and great books to work with.

Cons

Very antiquated systems. Sales teams and a lot of teams are in bubbles. There are a good amount of managers and higher ups that have been there for a while (10-30 years) and they don't like change, make their teams life hell, and keep them more siloed.
