Pluspunten

If you want to hear about pros, read the positive reviews posted by HR.

Minpunten

Incredibly toxic environment led by people that have risen to the top based on politics and tenure rather than leadership abilities. The organization's inability to remain relevant in an industry increasingly driven by technology and innovation is a direct reflection of the completely incompetent executive leadership team. The CTO is probably the worst of the bunch from a leadership perspective, but make no mistake, poor leadership is a systemic issue that starts at the top with the CEO. For the most part, talented people move on quickly leaving only the dead wood behind. Targetbase is a shining example of an organization that doesn't invest in it's people and unfortunately many of them have stayed for 10+ years. Account services routinely sets unrealistic client expectations that require the technology teams to work ridiculous schedules to meet the commitment so if you're looking for work/life balance, look somewhere else. Very little integrity within this group and they will lie to clients and look for every opportunity to cut corners and bill more hours. HR will consistently tow the company line and cannot be trusted as many other reviewers have pointed out. Lots of big titles, but a VP is really like a tactical manager and Directors are actually like team leads so the entire organization is very reactionary with virtually no strategic thought leadership.

I had a lot of opportunities to branch out and learn from other departments. Everyone was willing to put in the effort to offer me help or advice.

Minpunten

I wish I had more hands-on opportunities and shadow.

Pluspunten

There are some really kind, supportive people who work there. Pay is/was ok.

Minpunten

Terrible, toxic culture, starting at the top. Constant hand-slapping by leadership about the business downturn, but guess what? The work output largely sucks. And teams keep making stupid mistakes that make clients angry. Clients leave, and somehow it's a surprise. They're trying to become "more than the email agency," but they cannot even do email all that well. Leadership constantly talking about how excited they are about the Omnicom/IPG merger, talking it up to employees who are demoralized and worried about losing their jobs. Totally tone deaf. Lots of voluntary turnover, but leadership doesn't seem to be picking up on that signal. Benefits keep getting cut. Holidays taken away. Insurance getting worse & more expensive. Insanely misplaced focus on tracking your in-office days. They used to have someone walk around and take attendance. Taking attendance of adults. Now they just ping your computer. If anyone dares to leave early on a Friday, leadership will send a passive-agressive message like "Hi friends, did I miss happy hour?" Account people can be terrible. Been yelled at, torn down in public, sworn at, lied to, etc. Overall, hands down the worst experience with an employer I've ever had.
