Pros

Many light-hearted and genuinely friendly coworkers A good place to gain experience for an absolute maximum of two years Growth is possible, but you could easily be part of a mass layoff, or demoted Efforts are made at D&I. There were Black History Month and LGBTQ panels yearly, which is more than I can say for other places I've worked.

Cons

Compensation, but more so the benefits. Health insurance was expensive, and my employee classification was changed (don't ask me how because I don't know) which resulted in me not being eligible for their joke of a 401k plan. The company contribution capped out at something like $1300 per year, and when I called to see why it wasn't added after a year of me making my own contributions, I was told I didn't qualify for it anyway. Management (and everyone else for that matter) went through a revolving door. Communication was poor to nonexistent between managers, which led to constantly-confusing project expectations. The overall business model is slimy & works off of keeping people in the dark. I was in one of the higher levels of the company, but the "team members" on the ground made unacceptably little, while tasked with being pestery salespeople in stores that, in most cases, didn't want them there.

Pros

Good to gain field marketing experience, some positions have flexible scheduling. Easy to get positions with a BA degree . Some get hired on direct from the brand.

Cons

Lower pay if you have lots of experience and same pay across the markets. You are working through an outsourcing agency, so they take a cut of the salary. Working direct for an brand is almost double the salary but much harder to obtain without experience or having an in. Layoffs (contract ends) Short term work cycle of 1 year

Pros

Weekly pay, benefits, flexibility (depending on job title)

Cons

Depending on the program... beware. You may have a laid back position. But some programs are so aggressive that you end up working more than 40 hours. If you go over 40 hours (again, depending on the program), they will write you up and deduct your over time to put you right at 40 hours. The amount of calls to the stores are discouraging. Managers and reps start to think that your job is in jeopardy because of how many times back office calls to verify that you were at the location.] Layoff will happen, even when you're told a contract is in place. I was hired and 2 months later, they shut the program down.

Pros

- At one time was a great company to work for, and I was happy to refer friends and family too. However, now I would tell friends or family to look elsewhere for gainful employment.

Cons

- No respect for work life balance. - Underpays far below the industry averages. - Won't give raises to employees on programs, and tend to not mention this up front. - If promoted, they won't allow you to get more than a 10% raise (even if the new role is $15k below what they budgeted) - No consistency at all when it comes to promotion/transfer policy. - Withhold employees compensation after they put in resignations. - Management is incompetent and unqualified for the roles they are in. - Lose Clients on a regular basis due to poor management, which leads to employee layoffs - Continuously sell services to Clients that the company has no expertise in, and end up failing to provide the services they were sold. - Recruiting department that cannot meet deadlines that they commit to. - Poor communication within departments, and even worse communication with other departments. - Management hires based upon personal relationships rather than qualifications.

Pros

I get to work as an insider for a fortune 500 company but I'm buffered a little bit under contract in that I'm not expected to work 80 hour weeks or take on another person's role (including my own) when that company does layoffs. It's been solid long term employment where my skills and talents have been challenged and I've been allowed to grow as I take on more responsibilities.

Cons

No matching 401k. Due to being under contract it's difficult to obtain pay raises. Have to pay for my own life, long and short term disability. Company HQ is in Atlanta where there are many growth opportunities for advancement within the company, however, being in the West, I have been limited in terms of career growth.

Pros

Flexible schedule, be your own boss type of work environment, make your own schedule, benefits, bonuses, and more!

Cons

No co-workers crazy holiday season, biannual layoff scares you will be laid off within a year. Up to management to move you over to another program or just let you go.
