Pros

- Came in with little previous marketing experience and there was always room to get taught and mentored, learned a ton and wasn't looked down upon for my lack of knowledge - they tapped into skills I was strong at and built upon those. - People here are what made my experience great. Atmosphere is a wonderful balance of work/play and there seems to be a tight comradery - Amazing A-list client list full of different areas - Room for growth and moving up if you're patient... Always higher-level opportunities if you aren't too sidetracked by titles and raises

Cons

- High turnover can mean that employees and clients aren't on the same page. - Management positions are also turning over, and sometimes those people are trying to do too much on the client facing side to learn how to best manage their department. - Communication between inner departments needs to be more clear to avoid issues and mismatched expectations

Just don't

Pros

I gained valuable experience working in an incredibly challenging, vindictive, immature work environment. Every job since has been a dream!

Cons

Terrible, micro-managing CEO will always put client needs above employees', hence the high level of turnover. Under values everyone, especially when it comes to salary. Promotions are based on favoritism and passivity, not merit. Hires great people but then doesn't let them do a great job. No advanced SEM tools because those cost real money. Expect to always be on call, whether it's weekends or holidays or PTO. Business manager is a joke. Don't expect substantial (or sometimes any) annual/holiday bonuses.

Great Place to Work

Pros

Workers are given the opportunity to prove themselves if they show initiative. Great team that has the opportunity to service some incredibly diverse clients. The owner is a great individual who really cares about the employees.

Cons

Like many career paths, things do take time to materialize. Patience is certainly important but the reward is there.
