Pros

- Some really great clients and a lot of exposure to all forms of paid social and other digital channels - Cool office spaces with fun in-office perks - Solid PTO package - Some very talented people still at the company who can teach you a lot

Cons

- Over the past year, an alarmingly high number of important individuals have left the company. This has created a large void between Sr Leadership and what is happening with the day-to-day - Many times you do not know that a Team Lead, Director, or even Sr Director are leaving until the week of which leads to a scramble for staffing - Lack of clear career progression. Many individuals who have been here for a year + are unsure of what their career path looks like or if they can truly grow long-term - Many promotions are passed over for external hires which causes people who know processes, tools, clients, reps to leave the organization - Strangely rigid HR processes that have made individuals feel undercompensated or made the exit process easier as managers have no ability to keep their top performers who may receive external offers - Work life balance is not a thing. Many individuals work on 3+ brands, manage 4+ people, work with reps on every major platform, and launch dozens of campaigns a week. There is currently no structure in place to allow individuals to deep-dive into their client work or disconnect during "off" hours - Lack of urgency from Sr Leadership as Code3 has tried to get things back on track with all of the departures and life post-COVID

Pros

Learn/work for big brands. Depending on your team, you have some of the best coworkers.

Cons

Burn out is real. I was ready to file medical leave during the pandemic but my director told me to just take a day off to recharge... So from my experience, they do not care about your personal well-being unless you’re one of their favorites. Speaking of favorites, senior leadership LOVE to promote them because they only see THEIR wins and brush everyone else under the rug. The favorites are basic everyday people and bring no other talent to the team because literally everyone does the same job from Associate up to Senior Account Manager. Don’t even get me started with the senior leadership team. They don’t even deserve a review because they literally do nothing. Lastly, they will gaslight you. Don’t take it to heart, know you’re a rock star and apply anywhere else but here. Unless you have tough skin, buckle up and get ready for an intense ride.

Hi there, thank you for taking time to share feedback. I'm concerned to hear your account and would like to understand more. Even though it sounds like you have already left, I would love to speak with you if you're open to it. My email is amy.f at code3.com.
