Pros
- Pay for specialists is typically over market value. - Most of the PM team and specialists are great people working hard and collaborating in spite of the leadership team. - Can be a great resume addition or salary increase. As SoMe really needs specialists, they'd likely hire a junior for a senior position and this could be a great way to improve your current outlook if necessary. - The office is nice and in a good location.
Cons
- Pay for specialists is typically over market value because they desperately need workers due to high turnover, poor office management, lack of rapport, and deliberately hiding company knowledge from employees. - Lack of marketing knowledge from a leadership standpoint. The ones making the decisions have little know how of what it actually takes to accomplish/envision any of the digital marketing mediums, leading to a huge disconnect, unkept promises, and everyone angry. Note: one of the main leaders with actual digital marketing knowledge has recently left the company. - It runs very differently from other marketing agencies, but not in a charming or growth-focused way. While they'd likely spin it as "it's because we work harder and get the job done better" and other marketing platitudes, the leadership team is just over the top frankly and creates a horrendous culture. Think something along the lines of "you must clock 9 hours a day at least" in a time tracking software and micromanaging every single bit of that regularly. - Very thin skin. Even looking on here, you can see a positive review rebuttal days after a negative one instead of management just replying to the considerations. I have no inside knowledge to know if they're gamed reviews, but it seems curious that it happened nearly every time following a poor review.
