Pros

Smart coworkers and Interesting clients

Cons

Take the high reviews here lightly, they ask all new employees at 30 days to fill out a review. It’s an Asana task. Recent meeting they said the employee retention rate is 47%. This is a job that will overwork you and burn out is very real here. There are a handful of people who’ve worked here for years. However, the large majority of employees are less than a year. I noticed a lot of people leaving around the 5/6 month mark. They are massively growing, taking on larger clients without the full staff to support. A lot of useless tasks that keep you from actually being able to strategize and optimize well. At this company you’ll be on 2 large clients or 5 smaller ones. The workload is insane. For perspective of workload, at other agencies employees are on 1 large client or 2 smaller ones. Required to work on important weekends to the client and holidays because no one pushes back on the clients. Multiple reports due on holidays. Certain clients are required to work weekends if there is an important campaign launch for someone to keep an eye on it or in case the client wants to change spend. Have your clients set an agreed spend amount on campaigns…like every other agency in this business. No one wants to be working a lot of weekends and every other other holiday, contributes to a lot of burnout. I heard a lot of my coworkers feel like they couldn’t utilize the unlimited PTO and half day Fridays because of workload and low staffing on teams.

Pros

* Knowledgable people * Variety of work * Benefits

Cons

* Poor leadership * Lay-offs every year, usually 2x a year * Investor group controls more than leadership leads you to believe * Leadership talks out of both sides of their mouth * Salaries are 20% lower than industry standards * Issues retaining clients * Issues landing new clients * Fees are to expensive to competitors * Promote people that are not manager ready or manager material * Lead you to believe you are doing a great job, then they lay you off & no reason given why you were on the 'list' * Leadership would rather lay you off than work with you to be successful * Leadership pretends to listen to you when you come to them with an issue. They tell you they will address it. Then you do not hear an update and then you find out that they never addressed the issue with the department or individual. * Team members are always asking about your personal life, I do not like to share that info. If do not like to share info like that, you will not fit in here *Make giving a positive review in Glassdoor a requirement for onboarding. This does not give a true rating and reviews of the company

Pros

Half day Fridays, but let’s be honest, you will have already worked over 40 hours by the time Friday rolls around. There’s a policy of “no meetings on Fridays”, so that’s the only time you can get anything done.

Cons

Scummy ad agency. I was paid below market rate and given more work than my hours allowed. Constant unnecessary meetings, so I could never get any actual work done. I always felt like I was in trouble and that my every move was being tracked. My account lead was awful. He was very unresponsive, uninspiring, and uninterested in me as an human being. I watched him gaslight and lie to clients when he let tasks fall through the cracks. Extremely cliquey. I felt deeply excluded from the company culture as a remote employee, and I was overcome with the feeling that all of the people who thrived here were popular in high school in the bad way. They give “unlimited time off”, but it was a huge administrative pain to actually go through with it. Also, it’s frowned upon to take time off during your client’s busy season, and between all TEN of my clients, that was year round. Not to mention, you have to be on-call during major holidays. I was never able to fully disconnect. The kicker came in January 2023 when they laid off 10% of the staff without warning. This came after months of reassuring us that there would be no layoffs. This also came a few days after an “anonymous” employee satisfaction survey. They laid off numerous people on maternity leave… which is just evil. I had Sunday Scaries every night while working here. When I realized I was being laid off, I felt a mix of panic, validation, and hope. The following months were difficult, but in hindsight, it was the best thing this god forsaken company ever did for me. Don’t work here if you have any self respect. Working here, buying pop-up ad space for a living, made me lose all of mine.
