Pros

DA has amazing employees who work hard and know what they are doing. Teamwork and going above and beyond is what they do. I have never worked for a team that had each others backs the way they do at DA.

Cons

Tough management, the work environment is rough and I didn't feel valued. I gave 110% every single day and never felt like it was enough. I cringe if one of my kids called to ask me a question for 2 min. Turn around is insane. In the 15 months I worked there I can't count how many people came and went due to management. The CFO Mark is an amazing guy but he can only protect the employees so much. I was ok while I was working there, it wasn't until I was gone that I realized how much I was working in fear every single day.

Pros

DA has some of the best co-workers and leaders I have had the pleasure to work with. Everyone is understanding and aims to boost each other to achieve one's full potential in the company.

Cons

Would like some more transperancy in matters of office changes and plans. There are tons of career opportunities but do not expect them to be given to you. You must actively be searching for these.

Pros

As a small business, DA gives its employees opportunities to engage in work and with upper management that they would not have at other larger companies. Management seeks to continually improve (processes, skills, and communication) on a daily basis and take a vested interest in the development of the agency's employees. Multiple avenues for employees to explore interests across departments within the agency through crosstraining. All coworkers are fantastic people to work with. DA is a highly professional environment with few distractions, and management is adamant about the proper maintenance of a work-life balance for all employees. Being asked to work late hours or over the weekend is extremely rare.

Cons

Fast paced environment requires an excellent ability to multitask. Feedback is constant and always intended to improve performance going forward. Not everyone can differentiate between constructive criticism and a personal attack, so individuals who struggle with this have a difficult time at the agency.
