Pros

This was my first job after college and it was a good starting point. I wouldn't recommend staying at this company for more than 1-2 years (even that was too long) Pros include relaxed dress code, work from home capability, and a resume builder.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. The head honcho at the Warwick, RI office is rude, power-hungry, manipulative, and lacks social skills and, frankly, management skills. She spends most of the day talking about her personal life, seeking attention from certain male employees, and patronizing everyone else. Employees are encouraged to work overtime (while on an extremely low salary without extra pay) and are told they will be rewarded "in time" which never comes to fruition. In two years I received one raise that I believe was around 3% and was expected to be overly grateful for this treat. If I did the math to find out how much money I was making hourly with the extra time put in, it would certainly be below minimum wage. Morale is constantly low and management tries to improve this by making us participate in dumb activities that are a waste of our time. Turnover is constant yet no one seems to understand that upping the salaries of current employees is a better system than constantly hiring new college grads to fill the shoes of those who are smart enough to get out.

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
