Pros

The team culture is remarkably cohesive — there is nothing quite like collective suffering to forge genuine camaraderie among colleagues. You will leave with an impressive and well-practiced portfolio of HR complaints and labor relations correspondence, which, in hindsight, is more writing experience than any formal communications role could have provided. Your improvisational abilities will reach new heights. Navigating cross-functional work under leadership that prioritizes their growth over the substance of the work is an exceptional exercise in creative redirection. Following recent layoffs that have left the team notably homogenous, there is an opportunity to serve as the singular cultural authority on the communications team. Perhaps most meaningfully, you will discover the full depth of your own resilience. Having your leadership abilities tested against a backdrop of verbal hostility and public ridicule is an unconventional development program — but one that will leave your endurance, composure, and self-assurance thoroughly unmatched.

Cons

Racial and class-based micro-aggressions are woven into the day-to-day experience with a consistency that suggests culture, not coincidence. Groupthink is endemic — which is particularly striking given that the group, nearly unanimously, holds leadership in low regard. The distinction lies not in loyalty, but in who has mastered the performance of it. For a brand whose consumer base is overwhelmingly Black, leadership demonstrates a strong resistance in pitching media that reflects that audience. The disconnect between who buys the product and whose stories are deemed worth telling is both a strategic failure and a telling one. Gossip flows freely and without consequence, creating an environment where reputations are managed informally and accountability exists largely in theory. Employees who raise concerns about biased treatment should be prepared to encounter retaliation rather than resolution. The gap between the company’s stated values and its lived culture is not incidental — it is institutional.
