Pros

*Work Life Balance *Benefits *Cross-training opportunities *Unlimited PTO (you are encouraged to take it) *Surprisingly Family Friendly *Tuition Reimbursement

Cons

*Opportunities for upward movement aren't easy to be considered for even if, you're considered a top performer *If your position is created, you're at risk for lay off. *Two weeks notice is given in advance of layoff to look for internal roles but the opportunities aren't there. Overall not a bad company to work for

Pros

Great benefits, remote life is great, flexible PTO is always a plus.

Cons

Publicly traded companies are just going to do what they do. If you can make one marketer pretend to accomplish the work of five, that’s good enough for shareholders.
