      Pros

      I worked with some brilliant minds, my manager was tough but fair, and a good PEOPLE manager, not just a good sales person as most agency managers are.

      Cons

      It's a hard job, and stressful when business is bad. But that's not of an industry con than a shot at OS.

      Pros

      Excellent company with a good group of people. Able to attend college with flex hours, attend technology and guided meetings either online or going to NYC. Dress code was relaxed. Metrics were all achievable by following their process. Meetings were always 2-way with management, listening and talking equally.

      Cons

      There isn't an option to work from home, not a big deal at all for my circumstance. Seems not everyone knows the sales structures (in prior reviews) and expect to walk in the door being handed money. It's like any other job, you gotta work hard to make a name for yourself for candidates and/or clients and build a rep. Sometimes this can be a slow process or fast one depending on lots of variables.

      Pros

      Leadership is fully invested in insuring growth for the brand and employees. The relationship is a give and take and the balance is maintained by everyone doing their part and raising their hand for support and guidance. I see that the core values that OS puts forth are embraced and executed on on a consistent basis. This is a tough business and is not cut out for everyone. It's a balance between relationships and metrics and if you're falling in metrics you"ll never build the relationships and we're asked to hold ourselves accountable to those. The Work/Life balance is there.

      Cons

      PTO and Health Insurance costs and 401k match
