Pros

Recent graduates can get a lot of experience working in the marketing world and learn a lot. Decent pay and benefits... however once you calculate

Cons

Although the compensation seems decent, once you calculate the number of hours they have you working it isn't even close! They overwork their employees beyond imaginable. During the fourth quarter of the year I had to stay in the office until 10/11pm most nights and I was given "homework" which needed to be completed before I came to work the next morning. They throw parties all the time to make it seem like everyone is having fun, but their extremely high turnover rate says it all. There is absolutely no training program and a ton of information to learn! My manager never once sat down and taught me a single thing. I was told to go to different teams and ask other members if they could take a half hour out of their day to teach me.

Cons

Inconsistent A/C in the office Tons of growth means we don't have enough people to handle all of the work

Pros

Company offers free Bagels on Wednesday Company offers free beer on Friday Partners provide generous employee discounts Employee referral bonus is high... if you can live with yourself for recommending this job to a friend.

Cons

Layoffs last year created an environment of distrust and dissatisfaction. Reorganization lead to increased demands on those left. Senior management promised raises and promotions to a large group leftover in exchange for taking on an increased workload (in my case- combining the job of 4 people into one) and did not follow through. Reviews are subjective and do not show the true value of an employee. You are more harshly reprimanded for interacting with coworkers than you are rated on the merit of your work. Dissatisfaction throughout the organization causes workers to be nasty backstabbers. There is no reason to work harder than necessary at this company because chances are the person next to you is on Facebook all day making more money than you do and being recommended for a raise. The new corporate raise policy excludes all employees from a yearly COLA and instead highly rewards employees with promotions and raises for which they are not qualified.
