Pros

As a small agency, you'll quickly have the opportunity to do hands-on work for a diverse and prestigious roster of clients. You can come in with no experience out of school and learn a lot very quickly. Management is super supportive of employees and will work closely with you to get up to speed and support clients. You'll get to have fairly regular conversations with the CEO and VP. They also encourage you to explore other roles within the company to expand your skillset. Company culture is excellent. Other than the directors, the staff is very young. Everyone is super friendly. The company has done a great job of supporting staff during remote work for covid. There is tons of room for growth if you're willing to put in the extra effort.

Cons

Work can be hectic, constantly jumping from client to client and project to project. Not much room to move up if you're looking to "fly under the radar" - expectations for effort are high.

Pros

- Came in with little previous marketing experience and there was always room to get taught and mentored, learned a ton and wasn't looked down upon for my lack of knowledge - they tapped into skills I was strong at and built upon those. - People here are what made my experience great. Atmosphere is a wonderful balance of work/play and there seems to be a tight comradery - Amazing A-list client list full of different areas - Room for growth and moving up if you're patient... Always higher-level opportunities if you aren't too sidetracked by titles and raises

Cons

- High turnover can mean that employees and clients aren't on the same page. - Management positions are also turning over, and sometimes those people are trying to do too much on the client facing side to learn how to best manage their department. - Communication between inner departments needs to be more clear to avoid issues and mismatched expectations

Pros

Workers are given the opportunity to prove themselves if they show initiative. Great team that has the opportunity to service some incredibly diverse clients. The owner is a great individual who really cares about the employees.

Cons

Like many career paths, things do take time to materialize. Patience is certainly important but the reward is there.
