Pros
Meaningful Engagement: The agency's work in higher education ensures that your work directly impacts students which is hard to find elsewhere. Knowing you're contributing to students' education decisions, adds a unique layer of purpose to your role. Balancing Work and Life: Striking the right balance between work and personal life is a priority here. The emphasis on taking time off when needed and being 100% remote has created an environment where burnout is less likely and personal commitments are honored. A Platform for Growth: It has been great to add junior talent to the organization and see them grow. More recently, with the introduction of more career pathways, there are more opportunities for growth.
Cons
Health Benefits: As a smaller agency, this is an area that could be improved over time. Change is a constant: The propensity for change can be both exciting and challenging - so be ready for a fun ride!
