Vantaggi

Great location in Chapel Hill/Carrboro. Lots of natural light. Good pay. One can succeed here, but see below.

Svantaggi

Opaque and consistently confusing creative expectations. The potential of the creative team as a whole was thwarted by directive management. One coworker early in my time there described the structure as "inner circle and outer circle," which was apt, as the management team was professionally exclusive. Deeply ingrained favoritism often disregarded fresh and enticing solutions. One AD was concerningly inept with industry-standard design software and frequently requested help executing basic technical functions. Lastly, design department turnover was remarkable. Specifically non-directorial staff. With the exception of management and a couple of designers who had resigned themselves to production roles, I saw the entire art department turn over multiple times.

Vantaggi

Incredible place to work. An amazing place to grow as a creative and learn from some of the most passionate, skilled advertisers and developers you could ever hope to meet. Strong, supportive spirit of collaboration.

Svantaggi

They can be a very brutally honest with you, which is a good thing, so be prepared to have thick skin and not take feedback personally. The criticism is always in service of helping you grow and delivering work for the client.

Vantaggi

With over 25 years of experience in the advertising and entertainment industries, I can say without exaggeration that working for a woman-owned advertising agency is a breath of fresh air. Rivers Agency is helmed by a woman who has the business acumen to celebrate over 30 years doing what she loves, while never losing sight of the welfare of her community and her employees. She has surrounded herself with a talented team of professionals who work passionately together to push the creative and technical envelope every day for their clients. I am proud to have been part of this team for nearly four years, and have been continually fulfilled by the diversity of our clients, the longevity of our relationships, and the inspiration I draw from my teammates. I hope to spend many more years here as a valued member of the team.

Svantaggi

There are no negatives that come to mind. Having many years of experience, I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. The Rivers Agency is an exceptional place to work.
