Pros

Has some Amazinggg people!! Great organization on different accounts and the CEO is very forthcoming with problems and how they plan on fixing them. The Cafe is amazing ❤️ and the lead who runs it is amazing and the energy is infectious. Creative/Strategy are incredibly talented dealing with worrisome clients on tight deadlines. Smart people running on strategy accounts!!

Cons

Relying too much on one account for income leading to insane random layoffs. Leadership has some problems, putting a lot of work on creative/strategy departments then blaming them for not being profitable enough rather than fixing the core issues within the leadership team. Because they rely heavily on one account, it leads to clients walking all over employees. No push backs or protection. People who do a ton of work are usually paid substantially less, a ton of employees afraid to speak up to leadership knowing it could cost them their job. It doesn't feel secure knowing you could be on the next round of layoffs.

Pros

People, Culture and Work. The people at Dagger are top notch - truly feels like a family that you're a part of. Also, the culture that Dagger has curated is top tier as well. Between the vibes at the office and yearly events that the agency puts on - this place knows how to have fun. However, the fun doesn't come at the expense of the work. Dagger embodies the "work hard, play hard" mentality and they put out work that captures attention and drives breakthrough.

Cons

Growth, Annual Reviews and Work Life Balance Agency as well as personal growth are things that Dagger has struggled with in the past and continues to struggle with. Throughout my time at the company, the focus on the personal growth and the feedback loop has become less and less of a priority. Work-Life balance has also suffered over the years - leading to burnout.
