Pros

None come to mind because there aren't any.

Cons

Salem professes to care about morals and values, but they only care about their bottom line. They prize quantity over quality, and it's not even close. Doesn't matter how much hard work you've put in and for how long; if you can't keep up with the ridiculous click quota, you're worthless to them. I rarely heard from management, and when I did, it was only to complain and try to make me feel bad about myself (including, on one occasion, during a very rare week of time off). They have no room for people with convictions — unless those people have lucrative media contracts — so if you still care about *actual* conservatism as opposed to indulging political hypocrisy on the Right, do yourself a favor and find a place that still puts principles before money and won't throw employees to the idiot wolves in the comments section.

Pros

Great supportive local environment, people called to work there to support the mission.

Cons

Corporate digital leadership is disjointed and systems are chaotic. Actual delivered campaigns are inevitably flawed and mis managed. Retaliatory, narcisstic, abusive corporate digital leadership. Constant systems changes and zero assistance in navigating. More and more digital agency and other jobs outsourced to Asia. Salespeople are exhausted and burned out by programs failing. Zero accountability taken by Ad Ops team for mistakes or extrene lag time in responses from internal automated systems. Salary cuts to 'help the company' plays on the mission minded employees, taking advantage of employees good intentions by underpaying them compared to industry. No 401K match.
