Pros

Because the company is such a mess, there are lots of opportunities to proactively take on new assignments to solve (endless) problems and self-teach—don't expect any guidance from leadership or much support from peers but if you're a self-starter, you can easily get a senior position, work on a big problem to learn and make mistakes, and leave within a year for a far better job.

Cons

-bad senior leadership: rude or incompetent or both (especially in Marketing, Communications, and HR) -little to no innovation: decisions about the business direction are generally made last after the majority of the industry has already done it -way higher than normal turnover/attrition/burnout -no central or consistent mode of operations (when I started, EG was ~15 disconnected brands even using different financial systems) -hollow commitment to diversity and inclusion, poor treatment of Black employees -no company travel perks

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
