Pros
As an employee of Navicor from nearly the start of the Philadelphia office, I have witnessed a meteoric rise of an agency full of passion and commitment to its employees, clients, and oncology patients, caregivers, and associations. Our growth has been tremendous over the last 3 years, highlighted by being Med Ad News Agency of the Year in 2017. With that growth comes certain challenges, such as staffing, talent-to-task, office space, and operational efficiencies, to name a few. But being resilient through all of those growing pains produces a sense of pride in the work we do, the culture we create, and most important, an awareness of the employees we want to attract. It also comes with perspective and realization that these growing pains are actually a good thing because we do incredible work and more and more clients value us as partners and want to work with us. Good challenges to have and certainly better than the opposite. Navicor has grown in headcount and revenue year over year since the inception of the Philadelphia office 3 years ago and continues to grow. Not many agencies can say that. Navicor has an exceptional success rate in winning new business, as over 75% of our pitches come our way. This speaks to the top-notch talent and impressive senior management team that is second to none in oncology. Not many agencies can say that. Navicor cares about the work we do and actively participates in and drives oncology fundraising efforts in Philadelphia. Not many agencies can say that. Navicor strives to promote from within. Employees who rise to the occasion and deliver exceptional work and results and do so with professionalism are rewarded. In 2017 there were 6 internal promotions (2 men and 4 women), and in 2018 there were 6 internal promotions (1 man and 5 women). So within 2 years, nearly 25% of the staff were promoted for doing great work and making a positive contribution. Not many agencies can say that. Navicor is part of an incredibly nimble network of talent under Syneos Health that can provide solutions for any industry challenge thrown our way. Not many agencies can say that. The takeaway—if you are passionate and a hard worker who truly cares about what you do and desires to help others in the oncology space…if you have the resiliency and adaptability to join a growing organization destined for success and year-over-year growth…if you truly want to have an impact in being a part of and shaping the culture…if you want to work in the most prestigious disease state of oncology…and if you want to produce great work and advance your career, Navicor may be the place for you.
Cons
As mentioned previously, the current challenges are a reflection of the extraordinary growth.

Pros
Are you looking for inappropriate behavior at the senior level and an HR team that tries to bury it? Extreme micro-managing? Non-existent project management and complete lack of process? If so, then Navicor is the place to be! It's no wonder Navicor has become a revolving door of departing talent as this company is an Old Boys Club nightmare with "senior leaders" that are out of touch with both their clients and their employees. Its a heaping plate of gender discrimination covered in a thick sauce of arrogant, thoughtless leadership. That's a dish best left untouched! Beware!
Cons
There is a complete lack of creativity under the senior team. The creatives call themselves "wrists" since they are just there to make someone else's bad vision come to life. There is no project management team at all, which is essential in the agency world. Inappropriate comments are commonly thrown around, with it happening so often that it's sadly the norm around there. Favoritism is out of control. Leadership are out of touch with trends, and don't believe that digital tactics are important to the business. Projects are always micro managed to the highest degree which more than often leads to weekend work and overage on budgets. Zero communication from leadership about the state of the business, when employees are hired or leave, or day-to-day information. They hide in their office all day and don't even acknowledge their employees. Unfair pay between levels and experience. No bonuses and minimal raises if you're lucky. High turnover rate, most people don't last more than a year, mostly since there is no career growth available. No culture whatsoever. Never any rewards for all the hard work the teams put in.
