Vantaggi
The people I worked closely with in marketing. My boss and my boss' boss were fantastic to work for. [Note, they are no longer with Waxman either.] I learned a lot about a lot of different aspects of the business, for better or worse.
Svantaggi
Old mentality. Affects moral as well as business. A strict 8-5 schedule with no option for telecommuting [in 2017.] Unrealistic expectations. Don't expect to ever take a vacation and not be bothered on it. An environment in which you are forced to re-do work over and over because someone above you "changes their mind" about the strategy previously agreed on in a room full of ten different people hired to be "experts." Having your work re-done for you behind you back and thrust upon you the day before a business review. Having to deal with a verbally aggressive and abusive work environment with an HR department that takes six+ months to act upon a potentially dangerous situation. An outdated building with windows and natural light offered in about 10% of offices. The roof leaks everywhere. They talk the talk as far as wanting to change but so far they've yet to walk. The CEO judges employees based on gender, waistline, and weight while expertise and value to the company is considered secondarily. If they like you and you like money then you're in luck because that's all you can expect to get out of this company other than B.S. They're pretty good at throwing money at their problems.
