A company on the verge of an employee mass exodus - Marketing Digital Media Solutions Employee Review

Pros

The PTO policy is "unlimited" but in reality it's at the discretion of your supervisor. The average vacation taken is typically under two weeks. If you have a cool boss, then you're fine. If you do not, tough luck. They apparently have a corporate retreat that I heard was fun. Relatively well known name in the lead industry.

Cons

The only thing stopping people from leaving is a global pandemic. The moment other companies begin hiring, DMS will not be able to keep up with the turnaround. Upper management leveraged COVID19 to cut pay and benefits of their employees, including those that routinely produce the most revenue. They will routinely fail to pay vendors, clients, etc. while keeping you in the dark. The higher ups will give incredibly high goals with zero reward. If you fail to meet these goals, you are punished; if you succeed, nothing happens other than next month's goal increases. There have even been times they move the goal post. All criticism is met with scorn. They have a propensity of passing over the larger revenue producers for people that simply feed into their echo chamber. They are also easily the most unorganized company I have worked at during my 20+ years in the business.

Pros

Fully Remote work anywhere in the US

Cons

My boss is an idiot. Idk how she's managed to keep her job through all the restructuring that has happened the past 5+ years. She's never available through Slack. She will hire new employees at salaries higher than her employees that have ben there for years. She changes goals, then tells you they were the goals for last year and gives you a bad performance review. When you ask her a question, she has to get back to you and gives you the wrong answer hours later. Don't bother telling HR, they work for the company, not you. The worst.
