Pros

I loved my job. It made me happy almost every day. I got to work with smart, nice, empathetic team members. I ended up friends with many of them. We worked on hard, open-ended problems, and the impact of our work was always apparent. There was tons of collaboration and autonomy.

Cons

The company felt stagnant. It stopped growing so fast, and repostured a lot. Direction often seemed wrong, or aimless. A lot of effort was spent chasing what existing clients wanted, rather than figuring out what the entire market wanted or needed or would benefit from. A lot of great people responsible for much of the company's innovation left and no one took their places. Senior employees were brought in from outside the company to provide expertise, but it didn't seem as helpful as promoting from within. As the company got larger, organic cross-team work and ideas dried up, and recreation efforts fell short. Pay and other benefits were top-notch when I started, but fell (way) behind the market over time, despite efforts to keep up.

Thank you for sharing your experience at ROI Revolution. It’s great to hear that you came to work happy almost every day, as we strive to create real joy for our employees. I similarly love our collaborative environment and the challenging problems we solve day in and day out! We have intentionally pivoted our vision in recent years to align with the needs of the market, which has required that all of the systems that support that vision (e.g. sales, marketing, hiring, training, etc.) shift with it. Those shifts have included new approaches in sales and marketing to increase lead volume, updates to our compensation strategy to remain competitive, additional benefits (including company-paid short-term and long-term disability), and a better balance of internal hiring (that supports our culture of growth and development) and external hiring (to fill in knowledge gaps and increase our diversity). While all shifts certainly come with hurdles, I’m confident that our foundation is stronger than ever and that we’re set up to grow in a way that aligns with the broader market.

Pros

ROI has an incredibly positive and supportive culture. Across every team I’ve worked with, people are consistently kind, intelligent, collaborative, and genuinely invested in helping each other succeed. The level of talent across the organization is motivating because you’re surrounded by experts who care deeply about producing great work. Leadership is exceptionally transparent and thoughtful. There’s a strong level of communication and clarity around company goals, decisions, and expectations, which creates a lot of trust across the organization. The company also places a strong emphasis on growth and development. We have a dedicated Client Services Learning & Development Manager who creates trainings based on current trends in the digital marketing space and real challenges teams are actively navigating, which makes the learning opportunities feel relevant and practical. Work life balance is another major positive. Employees start with four weeks of PTO, which increases with tenure, and the company has core working hours from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Most teams typically work around 40 to 45 hours per week. The hybrid schedule is also a great benefit. Teams are in office 2 to 3 days a week, which allows for collaboration and relationship building while still offering flexibility to work remotely. The office environment has great energy, and there are plenty of opportunities to connect with coworkers through weekly catered lunches, happy hours, and team events.

Cons

The company hires exceptionally strong talent, which creates a high standard of excellence and accountability across teams. The environment is fast paced, with an expectation that employees take ownership, stay proactive, and consistently produce high quality work. It’s great for individuals who thrive in collaborative, high performing environments, but it may feel challenging for those who prefer a slower pace or need more structure around prioritization and time management.

Pros

Working at ROI Revolution has many positives, particularly the culture of collaboration. You never feel like you’re on an island because there is always excellent brainstorming and resource support available. The peer-to-peer support is outstanding, and it is incredibly motivating to work alongside fellow problem-solvers who share a consistent drive to deliver excellent work for our clients. Additionally, despite being an agency, the work-life balance here is actually been really wonderful the last several years - I think this is largely due to improvements in how client portfolios and team sizes are set. I also have to shout out our admin team for providing wonderful office perks, and our HR team, who are incredibly supportive, accessible, and genuinely helpful.

Cons

Agency life naturally comes with occasional high-pressure periods, and the intensity can vary depending on the client and how they're performing. At times, some members of Senior Leadership may get more directly involved with specific accounts, which can create extra urgency or require some additional lift from the team. That said, the support and collaboration across the organization helps those moments feel manageable.
