Pros

- Other people think the job sounds cool to be on Instagram / paid for it - See behind the scenes of a campaign - Lola the office dog

Cons

- Extremely high turnover rate, it was not worth learning people's names since there were new faces almost every week. -Low work morale amongst co-workers, and many unhappy faces - Favoritism from the management - Questionable ethics - Unrealistic demands, specifically for the Influencer Development team, treated like a human search engine. Lack of respect from other departments, and unclear communication amongst teams.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
