Vantaggi
The industry was excited to learn about a new offering like Firefly's, which made getting meetings easy...which was nice. There is camaraderie amongst the sales/research teams, which made the job tolerable. Free lunch.
Svantaggi
Reminds me of the FRYE Festival scenario - was sold a whole bunch of BS that never came to fruition and was a major disappointment. The company has a huge divide between the sales team/sales management vs. the founders of the company and their entourage (whom have zero media experience). There is complete lack of respect for their employees hard work - nothing ever seemed good enough. Employees and sales managers were expected to be on call at any hour of day and day of week, including weekends, to answer CEO's calls regarding sales opportunities. Direction of this place was INSANE. Every week it was a new "focus" and we had to drop everything we were doing to execute on that one initiative....and often times that direction we were chasing after and executing on, would end up not even happening (ie: launching markets....wait jk, no we aren't). Company was known for continuously hiring and firing people. Some of those people fired were literally only with the company for days/weeks (and not to mention had been pursued for months to join). When people were fired, the founders were never to be found. They forced managers or HR to do it.
