Microaggression and Micromanagement is a big issue

Coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Events, freebies, location , nice office, great brands, some great people.

Cons

The microaggression, micromanagement, inappropriate behavior I endured from people at this company was shocking. I was made to feel stupid and a person incapable of doing day to day tasks, to be honest I was so bored. The salary is very low for what they expect you to do. This was definitely a role that stalled my career. People move around in the company based on who they know not if they can do the role, which puts really incompetent people in high roles. The inappropriate jokes, comments and behavior was awful and it's evident these people have gotten away with this time and time again. I didn't enjoy my professional experience here at all and was looking to leave a few months after I started. It's such a shame because the company os capable of so much.

Toxic work environment, no room for growth, and compensation is a joke.

Social media manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a lot of collaboration between departments, bagels on Friday, and the annual holiday party is really fun.

Cons

Long unpaid hours, not room for growth, unabashed favoritism, rampant sexism and sexual harassment, lack of HR help or involvement, an annual 1-3% raise (enough to see a movie each month, yay!), lack of consequences for execs and VPs, no growth unless someone chooses to vacate a position, unfair allocation of resources, and terrible management—and that's just the start.

Terrible take over

Pros

Lots of opportunities with all the changes going on (if you make it)

Cons

Highly fragmented company, hard to navigate. People stick to 'the way we've always done it' even if the old way is painful.
