Pros

- Senior level management not being available in person or technology makes your work schedule flexible - a good stepping stone to move to another company

Cons

- Low pay : far below market - Sr. Management is incredibly unavailable. It takes numerous pings to get a response to a simple PTO request - They nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING. You have to jump thru hoops to get an expense report approved, transportation costs covered, potluck lunches (for the amount of $ that is being brought in on our specific account, cater is a damn meal once in a while) - PTO policy is laughable - Direction of the account is nonexistent - “Process Improvement” is ongoing and beaten into us but there’s no real tangible results - Sr. Management shows their face maybe 1-2 times per week - Employee input is impossible as there is no one around to voice your opinion to - team events are not paid for (my manager paid out of his own pocket for a team outing to the tune of $250) this goes a LONG way for morale - Onboarding was a nightmare. Had to fill out HR forms in two different places. - There is no sense of culture or value within our team or account

Pros

Industry leading firm for PMCM work. Many clients and longevity for employment is promised. Not too many employees per region that growth seems impossible.

Cons

Promotion timing and selection is unclear. Salary could be more competitive. In job resources seem limited. Work life balance isn't good. Typical daily 8-5 in office office setting, no room for flexibility or hybrid.
