Pay's okay, but benefits need serious work.
The base salary for my role was okay, but the benefits package really needs improvement, especially the healthcare costs. It made it tough to feel like my compensation was competitive overall.
The base salary for a Marketing Specialist was actually decent, honestly. I got a pretty standard 401k match, which is fine for a mid-sized company. It's not top-tier, but it's okay for an entry-level digital marketing position.
Healthcare costs were way too high; it ate into my paycheck a lot. There aren't many extra perks or bonus opportunities for remote workers. Pay raises felt pretty stingy, even after good performance reviews for marketing specialists.
Really look at the benefits package, especially healthcare premiums. Consider more performance-based bonuses for all roles, including marketing specialists, to boost morale. It's hard to attract top talent without competitive benefits.
