Traditional organization with typical politics

Pros

Usually very good compensation. Many areas of specialization and ability to focus either domestically or globally

Cons

Old boy network is really alive and well, with a higher priority on personal relationships and networking than on actual competence or results

A mess that needs cleaning up.

Pros

Decent salary and benefits. MC leadership seems good and focused.

Cons

Very political and Truaxis is run by two people who have no experience in digital or eCommerce. All processes are aimed at making the AM's team job easier. It's the tail wagging the dog. Seriously flawed leadership who hires other unqualified people to say yes to the leaders. Needs a complete overhaul to be a viable company.

Pros

flexible with work/life balance and ability to work remote, benefits are good and there are lots of healthy incentives. Gym onsite is another bonus if you can find the time to visit.

Cons

The new open floor plan may work for some, but not all. Every day is busy season, there is no break in the madness.
