Pros

- great for a first job out of college to gain experience and confidence - lots of educational opportunities

Cons

- Lack of organization in the company. - Onboarding and marketing for clients is an absolute mess (honestly the agency may just need to move toward being a HubSpot support agency than a marketing agency b/c they really skim over important marketing deliverables. If you'd like to deliver A+ marketing deliverables, this is not the place for you. Their marketing is full of typos, inconsistencies, and lack of branding). - Employees are not rewarded for how well they do, but rather, those who do nothing but then pretend they do work are rewarded. - 8 different employees quit in 7 months (the team only had like 15 people). That should be a HUGE red flag to you. Turnover rate is TERRIBLE (employees last on average 6-8 months) and those who stay get the work of those who left dumped on them for no extra pay or promotion/advancement. - Management is a mess and has no idea what your job entails so they cannot support you the way you need to be supported. - Clients are constantly unhappy with the way digitalJ2's processes are. Working with unhappy clients is not a pleasant experience. - The CEO requests loyalty from employees without giving any back. - Compensation/pay is DIRT CHEAP compared to what you can make anywhere else. Don't let them lull you into thinking you can make money with the "bonus pay", either. It's taxed at an EXTREMELY high rate for some reason and oftentimes it's just not possible to get the extra hours if the clients don't need it, so never ever count on it. - The CEO requests GlassDoor reviews from current employees around their first month of employment there (when they know he will be reading it so it's not anonymous), so that's the only reason the rating here is so high. Don't be fooled. Run. You can do better.

Pros

DigitalJ2 is an exceptional company to work with. From the moment I joined the team, I was impressed by the positive atmosphere and the dedication of everyone involved. The leadership team is supportive and fosters growth, while the company culture promotes collaboration and innovation. I've had the opportunity to work on challenging projects and have always felt supported by my colleagues. Being a smaller company your voice is heard and it’s really inspiring to see your suggestions go into effect. If you're looking for a company that values its employees and encourages professional development, DigitalJ2 is the place to be!

Cons

Things move rapidly, and at times it can feel overwhelming.

Pros

This will probably be one of my favorite jobs. I felt challenged yet supported in my role and with the 1 on 1's that happen biweekly there is never a time that I wasn't learning or being held accountable. I loved the flexibility of working remote but I also loved how much of a family I felt apart of. This job taught me so much and I will always be grateful.

Cons

A couple of people let go unexpectedly. Although they did show compassion it was still completely unexpected, typically a job will let you know to start looking but this was out of the blue. I noticed the company was falling short but I didn't realize the sudden impact it would have. Another con (not for them specifically just for agency life in general) there are so many accounts that you are working with it's more so task based than thinking of marketing strategies
