Pros

The people not in management roles are great.

Cons

To list all the cons would be like writing a novel; they promote people based on years of experience not if they are qualified for it. People that could not manage a team get promoted and cause good people to leave. It is all about politics. You have to play the game to stay in the good graces of management. HR is an absolute nightmare and tend to say one thing and do the opposite. They are not to be trusted under any circumstance. They are absolutely worthless. Management is so focused on revenue that all that matters is that the Marketing and PR divisions do anything without forethought and planning. This leads to over worked and stressed people doing the work. The attrition rate is so high and they cannot fill open positions because the place is the worse.

Pros

Work-life balance. Respectable hours. Ownership over projects. The opportunity to contribute to the life of a project exists.

Cons

Work can sometimes feel siloed. Support systems rarely exist. Unfortunately, there aren't that many subject matter experts in any given department. The ones that do exist are tasked out or are too busy to help. Although the opportunity to contribute to projects exists it's sometimes looked at with little weight meaning if a manager thinks it's bad idea they will dismiss your idea. There is also a very real and very apparent toxic work environment that promotes those incapable of performing their job. Sometimes promotions come to those in a nepotistic way. Also, this toxic culture is overwhelmingly in favor of personal relationships. If you aren't a friend or casually a work acquaintance then you can have zero expectations of advancement.
