Pros

-The agency has some of the best people around — not just smart and talented, but kind and decent. -Always pushing each other to be the best agency we can be. It's never finished, and that's what makes it exciting. -Great clients that love and appreciate great work and what it can do for them. -There is a culture in place that makes it exciting to go to work...even remotely.

Cons

-We are still in the beginning phases and creating what exactly we are, that process means we're adapting and challenging ourselves everyday. Some people like everything in place and want to be told what to do as opposed to figuring it out themselves. Not a bad thing at all, but not the right fit for that kind of working style.

Pros

When I started at WMH, I was looking for a unique opportunity at an early-stage company where I was given a voice and the latitude to make a real difference. So far, I've found that to be true. I joined the company in a client facing role, thinking it would be the right fit based on prior, similar roles. It became clear over time, however, that my skill set was better suited to help the company manage operations internally. Leadership not only supported, but encouraged, my transition. They've been realistic and honest about the state of the organization today and, more importantly, where they'd like to go, knowing full well that it will take the collective team to forge the path to get there. I would never have had this level of responsibility and autonomy at this point in my career at a more established company. Management has taken an active role in soliciting feedback from employees with the goal of identifying and resolving concerns through an external consulting firm and regular feedback sessions. As the company has grown, they've also incorporated management training for all new leadership team members to ensure the company's core values continue to drive decisions.

Cons

Early-stage companies are not for everybody. They require managing many priorities, often with little time and few resources. Success requires wearing a lot of different hats (sometimes, ones you don't particularly like) until the business is in the place to bring on additional support. But, with high risk comes high reward. Personally, the challenges above are worth it.

Pros

We're passionate about doing the right thing for our team, our clients and key stakeholders and we follow through on that passion. It's an environment that fosters the notion that the best idea wins every time and we follow through with that. I can go toe-to-toe with the owner and as long as it's for the sake of passion, not emotional, he is open and ready for debate and change. A quality that I admire. As we grow, we continue to improve on everything from how we identify the right candidates and foster giving them a purpose. Culture is as much a priority as ensuring the right butts are in the right seats as in a startup, growing team environment it takes both skill and desire to elevate us to reaching our goals

Cons

I truly do not have one
