Pros

+ They teach you from the ground up in exciting fields like digital marketing + Fun environment with a lot of young, new hires. + Beautiful, colorful office + Fully loaded snack room + Lounge room and small gym + Team builders and free Friday lunch

Cons

- Hourly pay which was pretty stagnant over the years - Had to clock in and out, and record time - Had to be in the office all the time (this was pre-COVID, though) - This is the big con - Their bloodthirsty noncompete clause and practices ensure you will not be able to leave, or if you do you may very well have to go into a different career. I personally know of multiple horror stories, lost opportunities, etc from people who found jobs across the country and were hunted by ROI. When I left it was a horrible experience as well because of how hard they made the process. I can't in good conscious recommend working here for this reason. Even years later I am highly confident this practice is ingrained in ROI's DNA and is still going on. Since leaving I have had MULTIPLE people reach out to me worried about the non-compete and how they will be able to navigate a job transition. It should not be that difficult or prohibitive. - about as diverse as a frat party

Thank you for the candid feedback about your experience working with ROI; I’m glad you learned a lot about digital marketing and enjoyed many of our perks. We continue to invest in the pros you referenced and work to build a strong, meritocratic culture for team members at all stages of their career. It sounds like your time with us may not have been as recent so I’m pleased to share several updates with you. Over the past two years, we have implemented a number of changes to better support our team members. For example, we’ve scaled our pay to be more competitive, especially for the most talented, and we've greatly increased flexibility through our hybrid work environment, removed the 'clock in/clock out' requirement for all significant positions where we're not required to and launched a significant DIB (Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging) effort to support company goals to build a culture of diversity and inclusion. Thank you for sharing your perspective on our employment agreements. While quite common in business at our scale (and above), we are fully transparent about each agreement (including confidentiality, non-compete, non-solicit) with all candidates (as we were with you) and discuss them early on in the interview process to ensure alignment before an offer is made. My perspective is that having such agreements are critical to our culture of transparent, open sharing (about our business and plans) and protect the intellectual property and competitive advantage of ours and our client's businesses, thereby protecting our clients and our team members directly. Thanks again for your feedback; feel free to reach out to me directly should the need arise in the future. Warmly, Timothy

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.
