Pros

Good job opportunity for fresh college grads. You will learn a lot about digital marketing, client relationship management, etc. You will acquire both analytical and strategic skills that are transferable. You are opted into a health care plan (at no cost), 401k contributions and access to a pretty impressive snack pantry.

Cons

ROI is a sinking ship & employees are simply treading water. Employees are assigned too many clients and battle unrealistic client expectations promised by upper management and/or the sales team. Due to the workload and lack of support from management, employees often feel undervalued, under appreciated and just fed up. The review process is very frustrating and not transparent, and it takes a long time to get promoted and it has become even more challenging over the past year. At any given time, I would estimate that 60% of employees are actively looking for work elsewhere. As a result, ROI has lost a majority of its strategic experts and industry leaders over the past two years due to a high turnover rate. Employees are still leaving the company, from all levels, at a consistent rate.

Thank you for the feedback. We work diligently to create an environment focused on your learning and development and to provide competitive benefits including comprehensive health care at no cost to you. We are similarly committed to fostering a positive environment where our employees are regularly supported and celebrated, so I’m disappointed to read some of your comments. We have rolled out several new recognition programs to highlight the great work of our employees including the High Fives program and NPS Awards, and we continue to look for more we can do here as we scale to a company of nearly 200 employees. Additionally, as you know from our Q2 Kick-Off presentation, we are currently re-evaluating our performance review system this quarter. Since it was a brand new process launched 2 years ago, it is certainly not a perfect system in its current form. We’ll keep you all posted as we identify meaningful ways to improve it. If you have any ideas or suggestions on the topics you highlighted, I would welcome an opportunity to speak with you directly. If you are open to it, please stop by Open Office Hours (held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1-2pm) or schedule a time to speak with me in a one on one capacity. - Petra

Pros

ROI has an incredibly positive and supportive culture. Across every team I’ve worked with, people are consistently kind, intelligent, collaborative, and genuinely invested in helping each other succeed. The level of talent across the organization is motivating because you’re surrounded by experts who care deeply about producing great work. Leadership is exceptionally transparent and thoughtful. There’s a strong level of communication and clarity around company goals, decisions, and expectations, which creates a lot of trust across the organization. The company also places a strong emphasis on growth and development. We have a dedicated Client Services Learning & Development Manager who creates trainings based on current trends in the digital marketing space and real challenges teams are actively navigating, which makes the learning opportunities feel relevant and practical. Work life balance is another major positive. Employees start with four weeks of PTO, which increases with tenure, and the company has core working hours from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Most teams typically work around 40 to 45 hours per week. The hybrid schedule is also a great benefit. Teams are in office 2 to 3 days a week, which allows for collaboration and relationship building while still offering flexibility to work remotely. The office environment has great energy, and there are plenty of opportunities to connect with coworkers through weekly catered lunches, happy hours, and team events.

Cons

The company hires exceptionally strong talent, which creates a high standard of excellence and accountability across teams. The environment is fast paced, with an expectation that employees take ownership, stay proactive, and consistently produce high quality work. It’s great for individuals who thrive in collaborative, high performing environments, but it may feel challenging for those who prefer a slower pace or need more structure around prioritization and time management.

Pros

Working at ROI Revolution has many positives, particularly the culture of collaboration. You never feel like you’re on an island because there is always excellent brainstorming and resource support available. The peer-to-peer support is outstanding, and it is incredibly motivating to work alongside fellow problem-solvers who share a consistent drive to deliver excellent work for our clients. Additionally, despite being an agency, the work-life balance here is actually been really wonderful the last several years - I think this is largely due to improvements in how client portfolios and team sizes are set. I also have to shout out our admin team for providing wonderful office perks, and our HR team, who are incredibly supportive, accessible, and genuinely helpful.

Cons

Agency life naturally comes with occasional high-pressure periods, and the intensity can vary depending on the client and how they're performing. At times, some members of Senior Leadership may get more directly involved with specific accounts, which can create extra urgency or require some additional lift from the team. That said, the support and collaboration across the organization helps those moments feel manageable.
