Pros

Employees are smart, motivated, creative, and all extremely hard workers. It makes coming into work each day very rewarding to know that you're part of a top notch team. The openness of the office is also great for collaborating and brainstorming amongst teams. Since I've been here, the office has doubled in size which is very exciting for being such a young company! Management is genuinely interested in keeping the team up to date with training and always being able to provide their clients with the highest quality of work.

Cons

Depending on your client, work loads can be heavy at times. Social media is always on, so you must always be aware of what's trending and how it could affect your client. I think this is something that makes the job exciting and different each day, but some people may get stressed with always being "on."

Pros

You go through a mini, intense training your first week. It introduces you to all social platforms and some of the best practices. Think of it like a one week crash course on social media you never had in college (super helpful!). After that, you get on the floor with the rest of the team and dip your hands in different projects: day-to-day messaging, writing blogs, creating competitive analyses and other tasks for a wide array of clients. The staff are really great and can you easily get along with everyone. The organizational culture is pretty relaxed and your assigned team is very accommodating to your working hours. The company really tries to do fun activities every two weeks or so. It's a very young environment.

Cons

You don't always get the chance to work on a project from concept to completion. You tend to just jump in and help the account managers on your team. You really have to stress any particular project you would like to work on and remind your team. For instance: if you want to learn more about Google Analytics or Facebook Ads, remind your team constantly that you want to learn more about that otherwise, you spend your days pinning on Pinterest or doing Twitter bundles.
