Pros

The employees overall are really nice and everyone appears to be proud of the work they're doing. During the pandemic transitioning to WFH was seamless. The workouts with a personal trainer were definitely a plus.

Cons

If you work here even for a short while you'll quickly see favouritism among the c-suite. They're not shy about it either. Nepotism is also an issue with a particular senior leader being a misogynist and nothing is done about it. The office culture is very bro-ey and it has ultimately created friction with the female employees. There were a few instances of female employees being harassed or mistreated by a fellow male colleague and at least of those times the owners tried to silence the situation by separating the two into different teams. Word spreads around the office fairly quickly when something like that happens. This isn't a place to grow your career, this is just a place to help pay the bills. The employee reviews are nonsense, they provide no constructive criticism nor the tools needed to help you improve your skills.

Pros

- good starting ground for learning the ins and outs of PPC - management is good at responding to changes in the ppc landscape, people are expected to learn new strategies and tools as they surface. This keeps AMs in the know. - people are helpful and friendly - most clients are easy to work with

Cons

-extremely stressful job, expect to work 12 hour days to keep up with the demands of the Account manager role - org chart is pretty much flat, not much higher to go than a director title for most people, titles are pretty much given on top of an account manager role so people in higher roles are essentially team managers with their own book and a title. Also not much leadership training. - AMs are only trained on their proprietary software which isn’t used at any other company - Leadership team isn’t very diverse. It’s pretty much a group of white men.

Pros

Good place to learn PPC

Cons

Terrible culture. Hire and fire mentality. They WILL fire you, as they are looking for cheaper employees in Nicaragua. And while you are still employeed you would be constantly worried about security, as others will be fired next to you.
