Cons

- Founder still involved and regularly makes unreasonable demands on the marketing department. - The marketing department's culture is broken: Deadlines are unrealistic and bad actors within the department drive down morale.

Given how critical the Marketing team’s role is to our collective success and how important a positive working environment is for your individual success, I sincerely thank you for taking the time to help us improve. In an effort to better understand your feedback and make adjustments as needed, I invite you to speak with our new Chief Marketing Officer, Letha Steffey, and me in-person regarding your experience. However, if you prefer to remain anonymous (which I hope you won’t), I understand and thank you again for your feedback and for giving us insight into how we can improve.
