Pros

there's a huge opportunity to learn more about things that are outside your job function. i learned more about brand advertising here in my first 6 months than in the 3+ years prior.

Cons

upper management has legitimately no idea what's going on or where to take the company and there is a huge brain drain taking place. i am legitimately shocked that they are still in business.

Pros

Most of the people are okay

Cons

For a company that promotes equal pay, there is a discrepancy between how people are paid. Basically making very low money unless you’re super high up or in sales

Pros

Employee perks! They have the standard time off benefits, 401K match plan, and health insurance but wow do you get to do some fun stuff while you are there. Once a month some great panel was happening with actually famous people. TINA FEY came to the office! They have free bagels on Friday and good coffee and snacks and some brand is always hosting a happy hour to give you free product. You want to be on camera and circulate around Facebook and Youtube? They are always using internal talent so you definitely have an opportunity. Also, if you like working with super cool and stylish woman, this is the place for you.

Cons

You will work so much here. I worked 9:00 - 7:00 most days a week and I took lunch at my desk. Also do not expect to be making the big bucks here.
