Job Openings They're trying so hard to sound like a great place to work, but then make absurd requirements like you must be “in the top 1-2% of the population in intelligence” and spell out the personality profile of the ideal candidate.

My role was to manage our marketing streams and find ways to improve our budget spend and return. Within my first week I found that our current digital marketing firm that we outsourced was wasting a lot of money so my suggestion was to let them go after we had warned then multiple times, and replace them with either myself or another firm.
