Pros

Coworkers are all very pleasant. The main issues are with management.

Cons

Salary is $15k - $20k less than the industry average. No room for growth. Slim benefits, no bonuses, and no Human Resources team. You will become worse at what you do because any out-of-the-box thinking is discouraged and they only use out-of-date, tired marketing practices. Employees quit often because of the low-pay and toxic environment. In my time there, everyone I worked with was always on the hunt for a new job.

Pros

- Chill, laid back work environment. - Kind coworkers who genuinely care. - Plenty of exciting clients to work on.

Cons

- Severely underpaid. - Absentee CEO who's incredibly arrogant and treats new hires/junior members with lack of respect/value; your input and questions feel don't feel validated and are brushed off as if they don't matter - YOU don't matter to the company since you are not senior staff. - Poor training, very hands off approach. - No onboarding to clients upon hiring, simply thrown into fire with no support and then scolding in a condescending tone when asking for assistance/context to what is going on. - Poor benefits. - Mismanaged client demands by hire-ups leading to constant last second changes w/ plenty of stress and pressure trickle down to workers. - Poor team communication and lack of clear and defined goals. - Office is "open concept" yet everyone crammed together like sardine cans. Very loud, hard to focus, and no equipment provided. - Teams are very siloed, hard to feel connected to the rest of the agency. - No HR team, if you have a complaint too bad. - No room for growth. - Extremely outdated approach and tools that they genuinely encourage putting you at a learning disadvantage in the industry (I learned more in my first 2 months at the agency I moved to vs my entire career here, eventually growing into a director over the years, leasing major national brands. If I was still there I'd never have gotten the opportunity or competitive learnings to grow). - High turnover rate - unsurprising given the lengthy list of cons and overall toxic environment that caters to higher ups while the trainees and newer highers are chewed up. Other works during my time expressed interest in other opportunities and wanting to "get out". 1 of which warned myself to "run before it's too late" while I was still new.
