Pros

The company culture is extremely welcoming. Upon joining the team only 2 months ago, the wide open arms from all the team members helped me to become comfortable working with my new peers and in a hybrid environment. The brands/clients dealt with at this agency are super interesting and full of new projects, which is a nice change of pace when looking back at the rigidity of larger companies.

Cons

One con I can think of would be commuting into NYC can be hectic with the traffic/trains, however, the flexibility of working in a hybrid environment (in-person 3 days) helps break up the work week and provides a better work/life balance.

Pros

As someone whose first role at a media agency was fully remote, I left and came to Block & Tam in hopes of creating deeper connections with my peers and supervisors. Since I started at B&T, my colleagues and Senior Management have done nothing but exceed my expectations. Everyone here cares for one another both personally and professionally. Upper management has fostered a community that really values each individual and their growth within the company. Unlike typical larger agencies, you are able to expand your skill sets very quickly. Position level aside, everyone is welcome to jump into tasks or trainings. Management is receptive to any needs/requests and eager to help you grow in areas you are most interested. With so many different clients, B&T provides exposure that is incomparable to other agencies. I truly feel as though I have learned more in my 4 months at Block & Tam than in 1 year at my previous company. Overall, B&T provides amazing opportunities for team members to move up in their careers while also creating strong relationships. A very rare place to be!

Cons

It is mandatory to be in the NYC office 3 days a week, and this may not appeal to everyone. However, we have unlimited PTO!!!! and management is understanding when it comes to WFH day requests.

Pros

Amazing Company Culture: The team's passion and support creates a motivating/fun work environment. Can honestly say there hasn't been a single day that I dread going into work. Great Exposure/Career Growth: Working with a wide range of clients provides exciting challenges and growth opportunities. Another thing that has been a pleasant surprise at B&T has been the openness to let employees take on new things. Supportive Team Environment: B&T employees are all highly skilled, super supportive, and eager to help in any way they can. Impactful Work: Clients truly appreciate the work we do and the work itself is usually super fulfilling, and very rarely do you get the monotonous tasks that you typically get at large agencies. Competitive Compensation: Block & Tam offers competitive pay, immediate 401k match, and great benefits that are super affordable. Work/Life Balance: Block and Tam leadership does a really good job keeping employees happy and has a family type of feel. We have events with clients, team happy hours, birthday celebrations, summer Fridays, and pretty much everything in between. Also unlimited PTO is a huge benefit offered although I truly enjoy the work so don't plan to take a ton of vacation days, but glad its available to me.

Cons

Depending on the client there may be an expectation to work after 6pm with one off tasks coming in late from time to time. This is definitely not the norm and for the most part clients are respectful of your time and stay within the 9-6 working window. This is pretty standard for the industry but the work life balance is great.
