Pros
The marketing department WAS filled with extremely talented and high performing team members. They were great to work with and we accomplished some pretty incredible things. Unfortunately they have almost all left at this point and it's not a surprise and good for those that have been able to move on.
Cons
Typical Private Equity scenario. They bring in and CEO and CFO with big expectations and incentives to grow at a ridiculous pace. Leadership sets unrealistic goals that we never hit and never had a chance to hit. Don't get your hopes up on hitting any bonuses while you are there. Then leadership starts looking for people and departments to blame and push. They need to show good bottom line so they start pulling back on people and expenses and push you harder to more with less people and resources. Culture went from fun and collaborative to burnout and finger pointing. Leadership is not going to take responsibility for the unrealistic goals they through out there.
