Pros

- camaraderie; work family type of environment where if you need help with a tool or application someone will gladly help you (not cut throat like some big agencies can be in NYC). -coaching; the teams here work together to make processes better and more efficient for the overall health of the company but also for personal career growth -education; the SEO team specifically is highly focused on professional growth. Regular leaning luncheons and Google Analytics certification sessions are scheduled by top management to help build talent across the company. -rewards; top management rewards teams for good work such as client retention and/or proposing cool big picture marketing ideas to Clients. -ability to make vertical moves within the company -growth potential in your role -work life balance; agency life can sometimes be overwhelming with long hours but generally speaking Path has always shown respect for employee's time and understands by allowing days for remote work options or the new unlimited vacation policy

Cons

-high volume; this is a digital agency in NYC so it is to be expected. Knowing how and when to prioritize is key to success. -long work days; not everyday is long but for the SEO team specifically the first week of the month is usually a long one since we are all trying to get reporting done adequately and in a timely fashion.

Pros

Open office in central area of the Flatiron District is attractive. Opportunity to work on wide ranging account types can be a great learning experience.

Cons

Hours are long for many employees excluding management. Communication is shoddy and employees can be cliquish. Compensation is below industry standard. Longterm employees don't get just desserts without threatening to leave. Benefits are sub par & employee expenses related to benefits are costly. If you're a "bro", you'll fit it culturally and have the best chance of getting compensated well. Qualified and hard working employees can be fired without notice; oftentimes over "senior" employees who make critical and costly errors. Some of the newer sales staff could benefit from intense training. Packages are sold without the input of teams often to the detriment of the company and client. Overselling and under delivering is common here. If you're not in sales, be careful not to get caught in the trap of prepping a deck, pitching, and providing strategy for a new client only to have sales get the credit (and pay)! Office morale peaks and wanes depending on the mood of the CEO & President. One of the two aforementioned individuals chucked a writing instrument at an employee during a client call with impunity. The at will nature of the employment relationship is volatile. They will make irrational decisions. Their decisions will affect the manner in which you work and they will dispose of you at their leisure. Client calls are routinely over attended and with the presence of a principal, can make the company seem small. If you are considering working for Path, do so knowing you're in for scattered and unfocused leadership. Be prepared for numerous unguided and often conflicting directives. While there are intelligent and dedicated employees, those are few (very few) and far between.
