Pros

Historically good work life balance and culture. Now, only really nice people to work with and a CEO committed to bringing us back to the 90s

Cons

THD tells you the pay middle-low on salaries because they offer work-life-balance, good work environment, and job stability. For the first 3 years I worked at THD I would agree with this sentiment. However, several recent installments from leadership - looking at you Ted - have made me increasingly more disgruntled. We have had several rounds of poorly executed layoffs (bye job security), a new initiative in 2025 requiring an associate to stay in seat for 2+ years (even entry level analysts) was implemented without notifying managers before dropping the email to their directs. This isn't a crazy policy by any means, but doesn't address why people jump around roles so often (hint $$). THD gives effectively no annual raises (<3%) so the only way to keep up with skyrocketing prices in ATL area is to get promotions or take laterals! Finally, there have been substantial rumors floating around about a massive RTO! WHAT? I was hired as a remote employee, that is one of my benefits and made the mediocre pay balance out. In short our CEO is tired ted with tired ideas

Pros

* Executive/Most Senior leadership genuinely cares, wanting the best for people and the organization * Executive/Most Senior leadership surrounds themselves with smart people to make sound business decisions and take smart risks for the betterment of their associates, organization, and the bottom line * Executive/Most Senior leadership consistently walk their talk, having integrity, character and taking ownership * Executive/Most Senior leadership and most managers appreciate people with strong, impeccable work ethic and adaptability * Great working environment: fast-paced, friendly, exciting, diversity is welcomed, and associates support each other (individual teams and cross-functionally) to ensure the success of tasks, projects, and events * Middle management, for the most part and depending on the business area, is: fair, supportive, and understanding * Wealth of opportunities to take your career any direction you want, IF your current manager champions you, OR you know the hiring manager; so network smart and with a purpose, and maintain a champion * Pays very well (above minimum wage and market comparable) * Excellent benefits (medical, dental, life insurance, 401K +matching) * Awarding perks (bonuses, training classes, care/solution hotlines)

Cons

* Favoritism, cliques, politics, biased performance reviews, and unethical managers can make it difficult for anyone, even top talent, to fairly grow their career * Conflict-avoidance is thick (1) Human Resources working for managers instead of associates, not taking associate concerns seriously, and not being true mediators for amicable solutions (2) Untrained, unseasoned, immature managers “getting rid of people,” instead of taking the high road and ownership to work through concerns * Middle management, small percentage and depending on the business area, tend to be: unfair regarding associate development, showing favoritism and suppressing talents of others; insecure; intimidated by direct reports; and retaliatory
