Pros

Work/life balance, flexibility, remote work

Cons

It's hard to put into words how poorly run this company is. The CEO and CFO (his brother) are two frat guys who got lucky riding the coattails of a successful company in adtech company in Chicago. If that partnership ever goes away, AdAction will not exist. The other two VPs have absolutely no idea what they are doing and are directly responsible for several business failures (including layoffs) because there was no strategy or business plan. Several top employees left because the person running SEO is the absolute worst and they still kept him on, even after laying off the entire team that makes his job necessary. It makes absolutely no sense. This company has no plan, no direction, and treats loyal employees like afterthoughts. They have not learned to pivot from Covid and refuse to hire outside the states of Texas and Colorado, which is why they cannot attract top talent. Their pay rates are well below market because the CEO's brother doesn't want to pay people what market rates are.
