Pros

You can advance quickly within the organization. It does come at a cost though; usually your work-life Balance that the company preaches, but rarely enforces.

Cons

Profits over people is the unofficial motto. The overall interest is money, and the account I am at prefers to lose employees versus giving raises. It has cost the account 20% or more of their employee base annually. Hiring new personnel is cheaper because we pay minimum wage but, we lose the experience that seasoned employees bring to the table, and lose efficiencies with hiring and training these new employees.

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
