Life-Friendly Company Dedicated to its Tight-Knit Staff

Pros

- There is no wall between you and executive team; everyone contributes equally and pulls their weight - Company only takes on clients with a positive social impact, so the work is fulfilling - "Life-friendly" - everyone has kids, dogs, hobbies outside of work and is not expected to be chained to their desks 24/7 as long as work gets done - Lots of flexibility and opportunity for learning new skillsets, expanding in your career, and upward mobility within the company

Cons

-Team may be smaller than what one may be used to, coming from other agencies. But the crunch is nothing beyond typical for someone in our field -Not a con, more a warning: it takes some time to fully plug in and start reaping the full benefits of a company like Sterling, so this is not the kind of place to treat like a pit stop in your career. It would not be worth it to work here for less than a year.

Worst job I've ever had

Pros

- Some nice people - Dogs allowed in the office

Cons

When I look back at the many jobs I've had in my career, Sterling Communications stands out as by far the worst I've ever worked at. -Revolving door for junior staff. Senior staff gets a pass no matter how badly they act/treat jr staff (and leadership makes excuses for them) - Core values are the biggest joke and couldn't be farther from how they treat people - Compensation is low - they will nickel and dime you during negotiation - Very poor people management - HR operates as "big brother," watching when you sign on/off Slack, monitors when you arrive and and leave the office. If you leave even several minutes early, you will hear about it - Culture of distrust and favoritism - They do things like lunch potluck which sounds like a fun employee engagement idea on the surface but in reality Sterling pays for $0 of it and it's on employees to fund
