Pros
Most of the people are great to work with. There will always be a few bad apples, but overall, everyone I have worked with takes the manifesto very seriously. I would call many of my coworkers, friends. Benefits are good: HSA, medical, dental, vision, transit pre-tax, 401k matching, PTO, gym reimbursement Lunch once or twice a week from publisher meetings Flexible with working from home Fully stocked kitchen with healthy snacks
Cons
Executives laid off 30 people back in December due to budget cuts. Many long-term employees (5+ years) have also left within the first few months of 2016. No real understanding from upper management about why the need for more headcount is so dire. Almost every level in POD structure, except for sales is understaffed, leading to unbalanced work hours. It is not out of the ordinary for some to leave for the day before 3pm while the rest of their team continues to work on their business well past 6 or 7pm. Sales team does the least amount of work and demands the most out of their teams. There is a lack of understanding on digital media and Centro process on some teams, mainly from the Sales end. Strategy is dictated by client most of the time, with minimal push back from sales due to fear of stepping on toes or losing business. Handling hundreds of clients while trying to provide so-called "raving fan service" is difficult because there is not enough time. Client demands need to be handled better. The level of service should not be the same for a large and small account. Lack of vision in what the company is and what it wants to become, either a tech company or managed services
