Pros
- Great work life balance but that isn't universal. It varies by dept. - Great name to have on your resume as it is highly recognizable. - People are great and willing to help you out. - Nice perks prior to the interbrands/KKR buyout. All those are gone now. - Ability to learn different aspects of the business - Bonuses, health plan and 401K
Cons
- Several people are comfortable hence they don't really put in 100% - Lagging behind on innovation. They analyze the competition and adapt for internal use. - In all my time there I only received actionable feedback once the rest of the time management didn't bother to fill out their portion of the performance eval and feedback was "keep doing what you're doing" - Product development is based on what they want to sell versus based on client unmet needs - Lack of vision on the senior leadership side. They love to hear themselves speak but don't leverage insights that mid-level staff can provide in terms of trends, unmet client needs, etc. - Noncompetitive salaries and pitiful yearly raises. - Zero to little commitment to career growth. They don't strive to develop or nuture their mid-level staff.
