Vantaggi

There aren't any good reasons to work here because it's a frustrating place that I wish I had never heard of. The only pro about this place was leaving for another job.

Svantaggi

You will be subjected to high school antics and immature jokes being pulled behind your back. If you're any good at what you do, you will be forced to do all the work while your coworkers waste time and make excuses. In all my career I've never experienced a place as dysfunctional as this one was.

It's saddening to hear this former employee didn't get along with anyone on her team, as had we been aware beforehand, we could have helped address her concerns by relocating her to a quieter area, improved communication with her colleagues, and clarified how we were dividing the work up amongst them. While we would have appreciated the opportunity to put these things in place, these kinds of actions wouldn't have changed the ultimate outcome for this former employee. We're a no-drama workplace but we still like to have fun. In the past 5+ years, the only things I've ever seen "thrown" were foam darts from the rare nerf battle, or a stray foam golf ball from the put-put area. Doors do sometimes close loudly but never slammed on purpose (as is the nature of heavy doors), and we do have moments where all our account managers are on the phones concurrently. That said, most of the time the office is whisper quiet, and I've yet to hear any angry shouting. Our vastly different perceptions of the same environment is evidence that not everyone ends up being a great fit here, but those who do will find much to like about it.

Vantaggi

Because of its size there is opportunity to have real influence in the business and to affect clients in a meaningful way. Expanding services and growing clientele means opportunities for vertical growth. Many departments offer flextime and also a flexible time-off policy. Managers are professional but friendly and easy to talk to. I've worked with some of the best managers of my career there. Diverse workplace; multiethnic, male/female, gay/straight, Christian/Jewish/Muslim/Atheist, younger/older; and everyone gets along great. Any bad apples get cut from the tree sooner or later, and usually sooner. Company softball team and other team-building outings. Staff genuinely care about the clients, which is really refreshing compared to other agencies I've worked at. Unlimited snacks and freshly ground coffee.

Svantaggi

Salaries are less competitive compared to some downtown agencies, but this needs to be weighed against other perks (influence, flextime, etc) Startup environment could be pro or con depending on your energy level, ambition, and ability to communicate what workload you are comfortable with, or when there are projects you don't want to be involved in or can't take on. Dental benefits are confusing and a bit inconvenient. Like any company, interdepartmental communication isn't operating at 100%, but I think it's improving.
