Pros

Remote work was cool I guess.

Cons

Tone deaf senior level/executive leadership that only look out for themselves even though they are the primary reason the company is doing so poorly in the first place. During the most recent round of layoffs it seems that they targeted primarily senior level employees with a lot of tenure. This was likely a strategic move by the company to cut all of the higher salaries and keep the lower salaries around to pick up the slack as a last ditch effort to try and save the business. Spoiler alert: Things won’t get better and now the remaining employees are stuck with 4x the work with likely no pay increase in sight. They also recently acquired another ad agency and one of the employees saw how bad the inner workings of Brkthru were and immediately put in his resignation. Yikes. Unfortunately they can’t get out of their way when it comes to making brain dead/tone deaf decisions and after a month of completely upending the lives of roughly 20% of their employees they go ahead and announce a new “VP of Growth”... I’m sure there was a collective groan from all the remaining ICs once that was announced.

Pros

- Competitive salary in comparison to the market - Great coworkers all with high work ethic - Clear messaging regarding long term sales goals - Many opportunities to learn and educate yourself on full funnel digital marketing, at a high level

Cons

- Lack of support when attempting to build your book of business as a new salesperson - Lack of care and understanding from leadership about the reality of the sales role, for example, they want a new salesperson to bring on new agencies, but will compare your runway to that of a more tenured salesperson with a larger network. - Favoritism in who is promoted, rather than who works the hardest and cares the most about their quality of work. Just because someone talks a good game, does not always mean they’re the right person for the job. - Overworked, highly stressed employees are treated as outcasts with excuses by leadership, opposed to being heard. If the “we’re all on the same team” messaging was true, these employees would feel as if their voice was being heard, and respective changes would occur, opposed to being commented on backhandedly at company offsites.
