Pros

Hawthorne Direct conducts direct response advertising business fairly and ethically. For young college grads, it's and excellent place to start a career in advertising/marketing. It offers a fantastic intern rotation program between the media, marketing, and creative departments. It's location in a small Iowa town offers a great place to raise a family and get involved in the community. Employees are overall friendly and genuine.

Cons

There are limited career advancement opportunities, especially for college grads seeking to launch their career quickly. Job training is minimal and much is learned on your own or through trial and error. Some may not enjoy the location in a small Iowa town, with limited opportunities for entertainment. Pay is low due low cost-of-living in the area. Performance feedback is also minimal and often procrastinated.
