Pros

There's lots of variety in the work you do, so you'll develop a collection of great skills. Most of the clients are nice and easy to work with. A lot of great, fun, talented people work there. Office is really nice. Company lunches.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. You'll be micromanaged within an inch of your life. Expectations are impossible to meet, and you will rarely if ever be recognized for good work, but you will be criticized for every little thing. It's worse for managers. It can't be escaped, because it comes from the owners of the company. They do not treat their employees as humans. The treatment I've seen and heard about is atrocious. They expect anyone on salary to work off the clock on every single project, and will still criticize them for not working hard enough and not "caring." They will not outright ask hourly employees to work underpaid overtime, but they will strongly imply that you should if you care about your job and the company. They demand loyalty but do nothing to earn it. If you bring up any issues, it will be turned back on you for not working hard enough. Promotions are dangled in front of employees to make them take on extra work, but never given. I've never dealt with anxiety until I worked there. I made some great friends there, and the skills I learned helped me move forward to a great place in my career, but I have to be honest considering how many fake reviews are posted for this company. You will not be happy there. (I can only speak for the agency - the call center employees seemed to have a better experience overall and really enjoy their work.)

Thank you for the kind words about our team, office, and benefits! I am sorry that your experience failed to live up to your expectations. We promote from within every month, 8 so far in the past 5 weeks alone! We have team members that grow, excel, and deserve to be recognized, so we love promoting from within! We are hiring very quickly and work hard to always ensure we have enough team members so nobody has to work more than 40 hours a week. Overtime sometimes is needed to meet short-term needs, but we ramp up hiring to ensure it isn't something that is needed from anyone long-term. We pay overtime for every hourly employee, every time they work overtime. That is why they are hourly...so we can track and pay every moment they work. We have never and would never request any employee do any unpaid work and have policies that perhaps we not followed to track every hour worked because if there were hours tracked, they would have always been paid. We are sorry you somehow got that impression and will do more to ensure that nobody ever feels that way again. Thank you for that feedback! We have a strong growth culture where we help our team grow personally and professionally so they live better lives and improve their ability to help our clients grow. We want the very best for our employees and clients. To most that is both appreciated and very rewarding, but to others, it may not fit their personal or professional goals. We thank you for the feedback and everything you did while on the team and wish you nothing but the very best in the next step of your professional career!

Pros

Best thing is having teammates and managers who celebrate every success, whether big or small. Useful feedback, willingness to help each other, and motivating atmosphere. Great training to set you up for success.

Cons

Cold calling isn’t for everyone, and rejection is part of the deal.

Pros

I like that management understands the value of steady progress and doesn't stress people out with unrealistic growth expectations. It also makes sure directions are always clear -- something really important in a fast-paced environment like this. Coworkers constantly share insights and ideas, which makes planning campaigns easier. The focus on accountability is another thing I like about working here.

Cons

The digital marketing space is extremely competitive, so the pressure to deliver is high most of the time.
