Pros

Straight North is a great company for driven, self-starters, who are excited to learn new skills. One of the biggest perks is the ability to work from home, currently full time. This is a plus, that I personally, feel you cannot put a price on; It saves so much time and unnecessary stress in the day without a commute. One of my favorite things about SN is that everyone here is extremely talented with immense expertise in their field. And, with that, everyone is willing to share knowledge. This has allowed me to absorb insights and knowledge in fields outside of my own over the years that allows me to feel better informed in my own role, and in general, feel more well rounded. On a slightly related note, Straight North really provides and fosters an environment to explore and grow your career. Leadership both looks for and encourages opportunities to change job roles and departments to expand your career and expertise. In short, if you're intellectually curious and wanting to grow – this is the place to do so!

Cons

I'm not sure this is completely a con, but there is a very large workload that could be a bit overwhelming to some people. If you're well organized and thrive in a busy environment, you'll definitely flourish with the opportunities available here.

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.
