Pros

Unlimited vacation (albeit you'll never get to use it) Work for home

Cons

The lack of transparency Serious financial problems (I'm still waiting on my last check from 4 months ago) Powerless leadership Emotional owners Be prepared for an underwhelming work experience. The owner (mainly the sales guy) are complete bs artists who will sell you a dream on how they care about their employees. When you wake up from that dream and decide that you want to move on they will treat you as if you don't exist. I didn't go into the office for nearly two weeks and they didn't notice because they were that done with me. When I started I was excited to be a part of a fast growing company but shortly after stating the growth stopped and they began to lay off their employees in drones. Soon they had reduced their staff by 50% (yes, you read that right). The final straw for me was one Friday morning were in a meeting where they announced to a select number of employees that our pay was on hold until further notice. Not to mention this was on payday (which is monthly). I was in disbelief especially since I had no warning and was struck trying to cover my bills. I knew then that I needed to get out before they closed the doors. If you have bills to pay and expect your job to do the very least and pay you... Do yourself and favor and stay the he** away form this place. Everyone is looking for a way out and it's been nearly four months and I have yet to receive my final check. I watched them make excuses about peoples final check but never expected it to happen to me. So sad...

Pros

+ No micromanagement + Fun environment + Very approachable supervisors and team mates + Big room for growth (they have quarterly Professional Day, where you can study anything while getting paid) + Fun culture + Bountiful PTO and OOO + Flexible time (as long as it has a atleast a 4-hour overlap)

Cons

- maybe this one just one time, but we were let go abruptly, no warnings, no nothing. I'm assuming this is due to the recent merger/acquisition and personnel had to be let go.

Pros

If you care about your job, the results you produce, and the people you work with - then this the place for you. Having experience in working with other inbound marketing agencies, I knew what the job required, and I was looking for a company that did more than just deliver tactics or blow their ego up in their spare time. I was very cautious and careful during my interview process to spot any red flags and I am beyond happy to share that everything I learned about Square 2 Marketing during my recruitment has proven to be true. Like I said, if you're looking for a "job," and really just want to punch in and out, this may not be the place for you. But, you want to innovate? Expand your own skills? Change the way the world markets - come here. The bulleted list: - Recruitment was fun - Benefits after 30 days - Paid maternity/paternity leave - Easy access to the leadership team/owners if ever needed - BIG celebrations for when we reach goals - The room to grow yourself - Competitive salary

Cons

Like with any agency, transition and change are parts of the culture. Marketing and our industry is constantly changing and in order to remain ahead of the curve we have to move quickly - this may not be for everyone.
