Pros

The work-life balance is amazing.

Cons

I second reviews that've stated management is unprofessional, manipulative, etc. The management of this agency by far has the worst attitudes and passive aggressiveness I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. I worked under a manager who would give convoluted feedback & instructions and expected me to properly execute. When the result didn’t meet her constantly evolving expectations, she became extremely passive aggressive, condescending, and would deep sigh — not only uncomfortable but demotivating. This management style can be mistaken for tough love, but as time went on, this registered as a means of taking out stress and anger on a subordinate with a hint of power tripping. She also didn’t think twice about angrily calling me out in front of everyone, which let me know that there are little to no repercussions for the mistreatment of employees. Previous (now deleted) reviews have brought attention to how boundaries aren’t respected, employees are treated like punching bags (I agree), and a situation where someone who holds a prominent position wasn’t held accountable for statements that didn’t align with the agency’s DEI commitments. Instead of addressing these concerns, they were cowardly removed. This reflects how things are brushed under the rug here, and the emphasis that’s placed on looking like a safe place instead of being one.

Our goal is to make Tier One a rewarding place to work. We are sorry you did not have that experience. For accountability and planning, we conduct an anonymous employee survey every year. The survey gathers feedback and addresses employee concerns about leadership and culture. Our late 2023 survey was very positive. We have used the data collected to further strengthen our culture in 2024. It is not possible for Tier One to remove a Glassdoor review. As explained in Glassdoor's user policy, review content on Glassdoor can only be removed by Glassdoor – and is removed when a review violates Glassdoor’s community guidelines and terms and conditions.

Pros

-Fantastic work-life balance, better than my previous agency experience -Gained valuable experience working with a variety of clients in highly regulated industries (financial services, healthcare) -A true collaborative environment – no job is too small for any team member. During my first few months, one of the co-founders even offered to help with pitching -Leadership is respectful of employee schedules and allows for flexibility (at the time of my departure, we were following a hybrid schedule) -Professional development is prioritized both in the form of various PD events and performance reviews -Beyond client work, I had a positive experience working on different agency special ops teams (marketing, sales, etc.); each employee is a member of at least one special ops -Great company culture, and the culture event team takes care in planning fun events for the agency

Cons

-As a smaller agency, ensuring full coverage during PTO/absences requires dedicated coordination and proactive planning -Participating in special ops teams is rewarding but can add an extra layer of responsibility alongside client deliverables

- There was some turnover with clients while I was there but that is to be expected at an agency (plus it was nice to be able to get different experience as new clients were introduced)
