I've heard it was once a great place to work in marketing, but not anymore
Pros
Work life balance is pretty decent, and the people on your team can be a joy to work with. There is also an attempt by middle managers to improve the way things are going from a culture and business standpoint, but they are unfortunately failing (more below)
Cons
Without hyperbole, don't work here (and especially in brand marketing). They don't have direction because decisions are made behind closed doors with VP levels and above. The folks at the lowest levels are given no ability to lead without being micromanaged and they aren't compensated very fairly. Salary bumps are dreadful and without bonuses until the manager level (for most, that's 8+ years of experience). The attrition rate is the best example, with most employees below the manager level having turned over at what I would guess is above 60%. They are failing on business and culture on most levels, especially in the Chicago office.
