This agency and more importantly its “leaders” have a lot to learn about operating as a business and as a team. The leaders will misrepresent and sell the agency in interviews as a “family dynamic” and “scrappy” which translates to overworked, underpaid, with the occasional quarterly happy hour and Christmas party to make up for the hours worked and lack of leadership. The directors and “leaders” buy into the company, which leads to conflicts of interest across the board from new business to leadership style.
Work/life balance does not exist, nor does an in-house HR representative, which should be a red flag to anyone interviewing. Leadership lacks accountability and believes the more you struggle— the better you will learn which is a cop-out for a dysfunctional, chaotic, and inexperienced lack of professionalism from the top down.
The lack of diversity is telling. For an agency that has condemned other agencies for lack of diversity, it is extremely hypocritical given this company employs 3-4 POC max.
There is zero direction given, and if you are fresh out of college you will be given little to no structure, or guidelines, or resources. Save yourself the headache and interview at another company. Turnover here is rampant especially under the strategy leader (3-4 months.) View their job boards and you will see the same positions posted every 4-6 months.
Benefits are not competitive. Healthcare isn’t the best, but it is fine. The company pays a portion monthly. No 401k matches. 2 weeks’ vacation time.
Do your research on this company and do not be sold by false promises. This was the most unprofessional work setting I have ever worked in my career.
