Pros

Overall, the best part of this company are the people, really friendly and sociable. Open office environment Weekly libation station Occasional free lunch leftovers Telecommuting (varies by dept) Generous holiday breaks

Cons

Finance dept is run by individual that unfortunately received that role by seniority, not merit. Dept lead lacks emotional intelligence, basic computer/technology skills, doesnt know pivot tables or vlookups, knows nothing outside of their functional role, doesnt know what an ERP system is, doesnt know how to balance their own financial books -- has an off the books CPA do it, idea of management/leadership/training is referring the person to a binder to read. High turnover rate in dept due to this poor support structure. Each dept has their own holiday party, finance's holiday party was to watch a movie at the theaters...very telling of this group, they'd rather sit in silence in a dark theater than communicate and interact with one another. Publicly traded company but only have a budget for water.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to grow and learn for junior account and creative talent. They're making an effort to work on the company culture.

Cons

Management plays favorites. Once you get to a mid level position your career trajectory can stall. You need to threaten to leave to get more money.
