Great company to work for !

Marketing project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great team, smart people, creative, open-minded leaders, great benefits.

Cons

Nothing major, just.... perhaps, it would be beneficial for everybody to allow even the lower level analyst to speak up and provide recommendations, since they are the closes to the data and likely know the most about customers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture and values (company genuinely cares about customers), good benefits (especially PTO- 20 days/yr for new full-time employees), enjoyable atmosphere. The company is very committed to work-life balance.

Cons

Low salaries compared to similar positions with other companies, horrendous turnover rate (less than 25% of my training group is with the company less than 1 year in), few opportunities to branch out beyond customer service-related positions

Good company, but don't be afraid to leave

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company, lots of great people, great benefits, incentives, etc, great place to get experience trying out a bunch of different roles and job types.

Cons

Pay can be on the low side, culture of "taking your lumps" and putting in your time to get promoted, many managers have been there years and years and aren't going anywhere soon, certain business units have "what have you done for me lately" culture, at VP level some are arrogant and nasty with no fear of consequence, can get very political, culture has people "drinking the kool aid" of being afraid to quit especially at the coach/team leader level.
