Pros

Decent health benefits. Encouraging, welcoming, helpful, and kind coworkers when management/owners are not present.

Cons

Management/owners have very high expectations. Everyone wants to do the best they can, but over time, it is very difficult to maintain this absurdly high level of productivity. Better time management and measure of success would be a great benefit. Very difficult to have a work-life balance. Most days there is too much to do done, which means staying late and/or coming in early. If you're not extremely passionate and giving a 110%, you will be replaced. This is one of their "motivational" speeches given at every team meeting. Quantity over quality mentality. Tons of meetings, tasks, and work has to be done quickly, which meant a lot of unhappy clients & tiny mistakes that could be avoided with proper time allotment and measurement of success. High turn-over rate of burnt-out employees. Does not accept constructive criticism Toxic, workaholic company culture Evaluations are not focused or based on your work, but rather on how dedicated you are to the brand and the company. They are very disappointed if you do not attend after-hour team activities/events. Again, this makes life-work balance very difficult. Very little room to move up in the company. A false sense of growing with the company. More interested in maintaining an attractive brand and bringing in as much revenue as possible, than creating a sustainable and healthy work environment.

Pros

The coworkers are great but everyone seems to be hanging on until they can find their way out. The massive turnover over the last 5 years has left little to no senior staff.

Cons

The CEO is an egomaniac and does not treat anyone kindly. There have been many instances of belittling, yelling, and even some more questionable actions. He is the reason for the departures and is focused only on optics and $. It may feel like an okay opportunity for a short time but the fog quickly clears and you start to understand why so many have left before you. The few that are left aren't there because it's a good place to work, they just haven't found their way out yet.

Pros

Cannot think of any, other than being trauma bonded to your coworkers.

Cons

You will essentially be overworked and belittled for peanuts. The staff turnover has only gotten worse since my departure so I can only imagine what those poor workers are going through. Although the company inflates itself as being “modern”, located in major cities around the world, and having a large team - none of that is true. Management meetings are a total shit-show full of screaming matches and rash/objectively poor decisions. The team is micromanaged and tracked down to the very second, and the benefits package is abysmal. You will be made to feel like a robot sitting at the exact same spot for 8+ hours mindlessly completing tasks. The expectations are through the roof as the focus is on producing a lot of quantity instead of quality work.
