Pros

Straight North has been an amazing place to work at for the 5+ years that I've been a part of the company. The management team here is truly dedicated to making the company a great place to work and a place where you will be rewarded for working hard. They trust you to do your job and do it well - without any micro-management. Aside from the management team, the rest of the employees here are all top-notch. They've done a solid job of assembling a team of people who are all experts in their field and couldn't be nicer to work with. We often have lunch catered into the office and there is a large variety of free food and drinks available to everyone in the office on a daily basis. That really is nice as previous companies I've worked for did nothing like that. Lastly, Straight North is dedicated to the constant improvement and continued education of its employees. Conferences and other forms of ongoing education are often sponsored by the company and employees are regularly able to attend free of charge. We also often do monthly presentations where dinner is catered to the office and employees present cool stuff they've been working on. This helps everyone in the company become smarter and more integrated with everything going on around the office.

Cons

Nothing to list at the moment.

Pros

Straight North is a great place for those seeking long-term employment with a company that they can proudly stand by. Truly, this agency is what many job seekers in the marketing industry hope for in terms of culture and management. SN is very flexible. Whether it's setting hours, PTO requests, or special accommodations, this company is reasonable. Management is also understanding and works with you. You will not find tyrannical micromanagers here, just down-to-earth, kind-hearted individuals. The workplace is akin to a collaborative classroom where we're constantly learning and trying new strategies. Every employee is talented and valued for it. In the 5+ years of working here, I've never had a bad interaction with my coworkers. In fact, it's always been insightful, supportive, and fun. One more thing to highlight at Straight North is the HR department. Anytime I describe some of the benefits or culture to friends and family, they're all baffled (albeit jealous) at how understanding and positive our HR is. Issues get resolved quickly, perks are always getting refreshed or added, and you never feel ignored. Truly, one of the shining lights of Straight North.

Cons

The first couple of years were difficult due to low pay, but after some promotions and bonuses, salary is no longer a top concern. Although it is still not ideal nor consistent, it's way better than the first two years of employment. Certain departments receive more opportunities and recognition than others, but I feel that's how it is across many marketing agencies. Straight North has tried to address this, and I believe this imbalance isn't intentional.
