Pros

*GREAT team culture. There is not a lot of "throwing under the bus" when things go wrong, management is truly more concerned with fixing problems and moving past them than blaming individuals (within reason, of course.) *Competitive pay and benefits / 401k matching / health / dental/ vision all that good stuff *Flex Time *Company has shown consistent growth year over year since I've been here, lots of potential for career growth here. *Catered meals (once or twice a month) *Fun company events (picnics, parties, dinners, all that jazz) *Awesome coworkers! I sincerely like everyone that works here... rare for a company this size *All three owners work just as hard as everyone else. They truly care about the company and the employees on a personal level. Other agencies I've worked at I've never even met the actual owners...

Cons

*Downtown Akron construction is a nightmare right now but that won't last forever (or will it?) *This is not an "easy" place to work. You will be expected to work hard and be productive. Similar to other agencies I've worked at in this regard. *Open office environment can be a tad bit distracting but I've come to prefer it to having smaller shared work office or cubicles. It is also nice to be able to ask your coworkers for help and input without having to get up from your desk. This also helps create a more family-like environment too, which is a pro.

Pros

Some groups are very specialized and highly skilled There are some teams that care deeply about their clients and deliver really high performance Remote work Summer Fridays

Cons

The company has grown extremely fast but is not keeping standards up across the organization. It is clear that the quality of work and level of expertise varies significantly based on which team you are on. Some processes are built around certain offices or teams but don't consider the full organization. There is very limited engagement for culture events.
