Pros

• Exposure to a wide variety of work assignments and client-facing projects • Occasional office celebrations and events throughout the year • Some genuinely supportive and collaborative coworkers • Opportunity for professional growth, especially in client management and communication

Cons

• Minimal diversity across the office • High employee turnover (average tenure around 2–3 years) • Open cubicle layout contributes to a culture of micromanagement • Very limited flexibility in scheduling and difficulty using PTO • Unspoken expectation to work beyond scheduled hours to meet unrealistic project deadlines • Poor cross-team collaboration and frequent miscommunication between managers • During slower seasons, employees are often given busywork to appear productive for upper management

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we respect your opinion, we would like to clarify a few important points. We are proud of the diversity within our team. We live in the most diverse city in the country and our staffing directly reflects that diversity. As a woman-owned agency with a 40-year history of diverse hiring, our employees come from a wide range of backgrounds, and we strongly value inclusivity throughout the agency. Additionally, our employee retention is exceptional, with an average tenure of 9 ½ years and 90% of our senior leadership has been promoted within — most of any voluntary turnover is the result of employees or their spouses moving out of the Houston area. We also want to emphasize that micromanagement is not part of our culture. Our open office layout is designed to encourage collaboration and communication, and our leadership team places a high level of trust with our employees to manage their work independently. We are careful to set realistic project deadlines and expectations, and we prioritize strong collaboration and clear communication across all departments. We are a fully integrated agency, and again our 40 years of success is a great indicator of open collaboration and effective teamwork. We are very proud of our benefits and compensation and strive to be an industry leader with a generous compensation, bonus, PTO, healthcare and 401K package. Regarding, work from home, we have been transitioning away from this working environment, as we work best when we are collaborating together. We also grow faster and enjoy each other more when we work together. For potential employees looking to work from home, our agency will not be a good fit. We like each other and enjoy being around each other. We appreciate your suggestions and remain committed to fostering a positive, inclusive, and rewarding workplace for everyone.
