Pros

I had the pleasure of meeting really great people, who eventually ended up leaving, but while they lasted, it was great. Summer Fridays.

Cons

Horrible turnover, everyone who joins typically leaves within months. They blindside people and fire them without any notice or reasoning. Each department runs by itself, no collaboration between creative. CEO's are more worried about being relevant and famous than running a legitimate business. It should be more of an influencer agency than full-service. Clients typically don't last and they're unsatisfied with the quality of work. Management is horrible as there is one girl running the show, thus she is empowered to treat people poorly.

We are disappointed to hear your experience at Socialfly was not a positive one. We always welcome both positive and negative feedback from our employees, past and present, as it helps us to learn and improve. As a fast-growing agency we have certainly experienced some growing pains. However, we pride ourselves on always striving to improve our operating structure and processes to make Socialfly both a great place to work for, and with. While we respect your thoughts, we respectfully disagree with your statements regarding the quality of work we deliver on behalf of our clients, and are extremely proud of our accomplishments in this area as our past and current clients would be happy to attest to. As leaders of an agency in a very competitive industry, our decision to be so visible in our efforts to promote our agency does not come from a desire to achieve fame or relevancy, but rather to bring positive attention and increased exposure to our company so that we can continue to successfully grow our client base and create more opportunities for our team. In doing so, we also hope to inspire fellow female entrepreneurs, a big reason we are involved in, and dedicated to, several mentorship programs. While we are not perfect, we work hard to do everything we can to create a positive work environment for our employees, one in which they are able to grow both personally and professionally. It pains us to learn you had a such negative experience working with us and will certainly do all we can to ensure current and future employees do not share a similar experience. While we are always striving to improve, we are proud to share that our efforts have resulted in several accolades within our industry, including being awarded the SmartCEO Culture Award, which recognizes companies that foster a creative, collaborative workplace, while working with their employees to develop a positive, productive culture. In addition, Socialfly was also awarded a Stevie Award for Women-Run Workplace of the Year in Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations, in recognition of our integrity and leadership. Hopefully our response to the concerns you shared will provide job seekers interested in potential opportunities with Socialfly insight into our mission, philosophy and commitment to making our company a place people enjoy working, while helping them develop professionally to ultimately achieve their career goals. If our professional paths are to cross again, we are optimistic you will see continued improvement. We wish you success in your career. We always welcome you reaching out to us directly if there is any way we can help you with your career goals. Respectfully, Stephanie and Courtney Founders and Co-CEO's
