Pros

Not a lot. Some of the co-workers are helpful

Cons

No training or support from the management. I started with the understanding that I would be trained for the job and there would be a two week training period. I was shown where the files were on the first day and that was it. The person whom I replaced was moving to another part of the company and left after the first day. I was supposed to have a supervisor to start the same time as me only they never came (got a better offer). I was then told to do the supervisory job and mine until they hired a manager. It took two years to hire a manager and I never got a salary increase or recognition for the management role. HR did not help with this issue. I finally left the company. It is poorly managed and had ALOT of turnover because of this.

Pros

Flexible enough, small and disorganized enough that they can't come down on you too hard for small stuff. Would be a decent work life balance if you didn't end up with emotional issues and anxiety spikes from essentially experiencing narc/DARVO tactics, just in a corporate group setting.

Cons

The things that leader(s) here are seemingly able to get away with in the name of leadership, the way that they talk to people and the general culture of favoritism and corporate gaslighting/punitive treatment to those who question the tactics being used here is like something out of a movie. I would caution anyone who wants their nervous system to remain intact to refrain from accepting a role here. If you do well in mean girl groups and by blindly following ruthless authoritarian politics, then go ahead and consider- you might thrive. Regardless of all that... no real room for growth/ No career mobility unless you move divisions. No "careers" here at all, at least not in marketing. if you want a paycheck and mind games, go ahead.
