Pros

From the young professional's point of view, treetree agency seems like the perfect place to work on the outset. The company boasts young owners, fun projects, and an open atmosphere. Unfortunately, I found out firsthand that this impression is a facade. Unfortunately for me, this firsthand knowledge also came at a cost to my career.

Cons

Before I started at treetree, I had my doubts. While the owners seemed young and claim to care about doing the "right thing," the truth is that treetree has a history of firing employees for insubstantial and unconventional reasons. The Columbus creative community is small, and they are becoming known as a risky company to work for. The owners seems not to grasp that their irresponsible hiring practices and their tendency to fire-on-a-whim actually harms people's lives.

Thank you very much for taking the time to submit a report about treetree. As many of the reports on Glassdoor reflect, I care very deeply about every single treetree employee. The trees are a family and terminating employment is one of the most difficult decisions we can ever make. As with any organization, large or small, there are certain employee actions or behaviors which will lead to automatic termination. We owe it to our clients and to the entire team to hold fast to these standards regardless of the talent and ability of the offending employee. These reasons may seem inconsequential to some, but we take our code of ethics very seriously and make that clear from day one. I would prefer to be known as a CEO who makes difficult decisions than one who allows that kind of behavior (even once) to stand at the treehouse. We continue to grow and learn from each new situation and appreciate your advice. Sincerely, Becca Apfelstadt Co-Founder and CEO

Pros

I had the privilege of first working with treetree as a client before becoming an employee/tree. treetree's culture, atmosphere and environment is unique and hard to find in any other company. The entire team is supportive and willing to jump in, including leadership on any project. They treat their clients and employees with respect and flexibility. treetree is a growing company, with a unique position and an abundance of opportunity. If you have the chance to work with or join the treetree team, I would not pass it up.

Cons

treetree is the Agency of Special Projects, you must be willing to roll up your sleeves, tackle projects head-on and get in there with your clients and the treetree team. treetree is unlike any other agency and if you are looking for big names and national campaigns, you'll find it - but you'll also find everyday projects to help move your client's business forward that might not be as glamorous, but are just as important, challenging and rewarding. This isn't a con, but an expectation and you must be willing to move outside of a "traditional agency" comfort zone - you won't be sorry.
