Pros

They put you through a "90-day bootcamp" that you can get a bonus for starting before you're even hired. Teach just about everything you need to know about Digital Marketing. Gets your feet wet in the marketing industry and gives some account management experience. Get in, get your experience in the industry and get out.

Cons

The overly nice "culture" gives you zero feedback on how to improve. There were times I knew I might not have been doing the best on an account and would ask how to improve it or make it better, and they'd simply say you're doing a great job. While some may say it's nice to not have negative feedback, if people are actively telling managers to give it to them, it hurts not knowing what you're maybe doing wrong. The constant influx of new clients (up to 15 at times) doesn't give you enough time to really dive into a client's needs to fulfill them. Gives you zero satisfaction in your work until you're too burnt out to care. When you're doing well with an account a few years in, with no warning it's usually taken from you and given to a new hire. For NEW EXCITING opportunities they say, but you just start over completely fresh doing the same copy/paste assignments with new clients. The pay is embarrassingly low, I don't care if you live in Harrisburg or not, it's not the market rate. It takes you a few years in to finally start getting commissions on upsells and it's almost kept a secret from new hires who are expected to make upsells for nothing. During Covid, when you work from home, you have/had to use a screen tracking device that graded your "efficiency" throughout the day. Felt like a slap in the face as we have a ton of effective workers there that don't deserve to feel like their every moment is being watched. The culture there is the opposite of diverse and is honestly a pretty weird feeling how everyone tries to act the same exact way. Outside two particular account managers that have been there a long time, everyone puts on this smiley face and acts happy-go-lucky.

Pros

Not going to sugarcoat it - the work is hard and the expectations are real. But the flip side is you actually learn things and move up if you perform. I went from jr to sr in a reasonable timeframe because the progression path is transparent and based on merit. FXLearns certifications, ongoing training, solid coaching. The office perks are a cherry on top - snacks, coffee, gym, standing desks. The StemFX scholarship program and charity initiatives make you feel like the work matters beyond revenue.

Cons

The pace is fast and you can fall behind if you don't focus. There's a lot of change - new tools, new processes, new initiatives rolling out constantly. Adapting is part of the job. I'd also say client work can be draining depending on who you're working with. Some clients are great, others... less so.

Pros

Wow! So many pro's,..Where do I start? Gotta say that the people here that I get to work with are just amazing. Each day I look forward to being here with them and overcoming any challenge together. At day one the positivity and care shown to myself, for each other, for our clients and for the common goal of the company is evident. Powered by positivity isn't just a slogan here, but a way of life that is infectious. That starts with a vision and great leadership from the top down. From the first tour through our campus, to our team celebrations and to our amazing company wide events I have been treated like family. The perks feel endless with our own in-house barista, food trucks, snack walls, fitness gym, kayaks, bikes, bring your pet to work desks and an awesome atmosphere designed for healthy productivity. All of this is located on a beautiful campus overlooking the Susquehanna river here in Central Pa. If your looking for a place that feels more than just a workplace and to be who you are. Would you be excited to grow along side incredible people towards a common goal and have a blast doing it this is the place for you! Speaking for myself it is the very best place I could have ever asked for employment and it feels like home.

Cons

I personally don't have any cons at the moment. I just grateful.
