Pros

There are no pros to working here.

Cons

No training at all. You’ll be thrown under the bus for not doing things you didn’t even know you were supposed to do. With COVID, executives have bragged about taking a 20% pay cut leaving lowest paid employees taking a 60% pay cut. No word for how long. They’ll just let you know on the last day of each month that it’s extended for another month. They also never mentioned our bonuses when they told us our (already low) base salary was being reduced. When I didn’t get paid my bonus I realized we wouldn’t get that either. Started requiring online courses on top of current work when we are only paid for 16 hrs a week. Communication was so bad with my manager that I repeatedly forwarded him emails where I was being told by other departments that I was supposed to do something that I didn’t know I had to do. I asked him repeatedly to give me explicit instructions and told him repeatedly that I wasn’t fully trained. He never responded to any of those emails. He also never responded to my resignation email (we are working from home). The communication is AWFUL. Right before we started WFH we were told to over communicate and he is doing the absolute opposite. Questions often left unanswered, I had to pester him about giving me my schedule when we had paid holiday hours to take and it took weeks to get him to finally figure it out. And I was his only subordinate. No accountability on the account executives AT ALL for THEIR accounts. It all falls on the planners/coordinators. And if you’re new with minimal training other departments won’t care and will still blame you. The job itself is incredibly tedious with very confusing outdated systems. A lot of training is needed and I’m really surprised that a job that requires so much training has no training program in place. Do not work here. I’d rather be unemployed than take the written abuse via email from other departments and get radio silence from my manager who refused to manage me, acknowledge me, or take any accountability.

Pros

Benefits were good and decent vacation/time off.

Cons

Low pay. No training- you are thrown into the job and you either sink or swim. Hostile work environment and very clicky. Hands down the worst job I ever had. The workload was huge and very stressful. This job affected my physical health and well-being.

Pros

Old name in out of home and has a global status with many markets.

Cons

1. No diversity, 99% one race sales team, you only find diversity in operations that work in the warehouse. 2. Poor communication 3. Low Pay 4. No room for growth in NYC office 5. Poor managers/direction 6. High Turnover 7. No advancement in technology, if you wear sunglasses in the summer you don't see the digital ads on the bus shelters in NYC because of poor quality screens in sunlight.
