Pros

There are absolutely no pros.

Cons

E3 Local tries to act like an amazing company with amazing opportunities when in all reality, unless you're one of the "lifers", you're easily replaceable. They have a "if you don't like it you can leave" mentality. The pay is atrociously bad, but the president loves to act like culture makes up for it. The culture is non-existent now anyway, so you get terrible pay with no decent perks to make it worth it. The president's only qualification is his friendship with the owner. The president is also a narcissistic misogynistic and loves to only recognize the men and favor a couple in particular. You'll work hard and get zero recognition unless you're male. He loves to play favorites and randomly give out gift cards to those favored (male) people. Not professional at all. Do we even need to bring up the racism behind his son's basketball team at Kings? There is no room for advancement and they don't ever give out any kind of raises or even pay you enough to pay basic bills in the first place. E3 loves to act like some amazing agency bringing in lots of money when in reality, they've been losing all their biggest clients in the last year or so. Oh, and the only consistent people are the "lifers" who are basically better off staying to get their retirement and be done. When people aren't quitting, they're being unfairly fired like it's their fault the company is failing. Management has asked employees to write good reviews on here to get the rating up, but any positive review is a lie. Not too ethical to ask your employees to write reviews in favor of the company for back end perks. E3 will seem like a good place to work but they are consistently losing clients and employees. I wouldn't even tell my worst enemy to work for E3. Should we also include the building/environment issues? Why not! Every summer the A/C breaks so it's 90 degrees and humid in the office. Then in the winter it's the heat and it's 60 degrees. Terrible, old, worn down office building that the owners refuse to spend money on fixing, but still expect you to come to work, following the dress code, and work your full 40+ hours in unbearable temperatures. DO NOT WORK HERE. I'm surprised they've stayed afloat this long but no way can they last much longer. For a company with around 20 employees, it's astounding how bad the turnover is. Over half have left in the last year (14 I can think of off the top of my head).

Horrible Work Environment

Pros

When you sign up to work for E3--everything seems on the up and up and they are very friendly. That changes very quickly.

Cons

The President who runs the business day to day is a tyrant who manages by complete and total intimidation. He degrades his staff and micromanages every bit of business that takes place. He is power hungry and threatened by anyone with an opinion and talent. There is no thought to strategic next steps to advance the company--just maintaining the day to day to keep the lights on. The only reason the President is in this position to this day is his friendship with the owner. Turn over is extreme--I think there were 12+ employees out of 20 who left while I was employed there. All of them could sight him being the main reason they were leaving.

Pros

E3 Local Media had great learning opportunities with different types of clients and brands. I had many opportunities to learn all advertising avenues and being a small company it allowed me to be a big fish in a small pond. At E3 Local Media I worked with great vendors that would go above and beyond to help complete projects.

Cons

Being a small company there were times you learned by just doing it. It could be stressful at time but always ended up very rewarding. At times it could be hard work and you would have to be there over 40 hours some weeks.
