Pros

Young staff on the cutting edge of internet marketing. Great benefits. Kitchen is always stocked and lunch us catered in Fridays.

Cons

Limited opportunities for advancement. Compensation disproportionate to revenue driven. Has normal growing pains of a young company. Management lacking in direction at times.

Pros

ROI Revolution is a great place to get your career in online marketing started. The CEO boasts that working at ROI is like getting a master's degree in online marketing. He's not wrong - the skills I developed here over nearly 2 years have allowed me to start my own business and have granted me a specialization in the field. On top of that, the salary for an entry-level position is pretty good with room to grow. The benefits are also very good - health, dental, etc. with a fully-stocked kitchen and catered Friday lunches. ROI does a good job of making you feel like you're an exclusive member of the team - which is really needed after the grueling interview process.

Cons

1. Lack of diversity. I'm not usually one to complain about this issue, but 80% of ROI employees are 22-24 year-old sorority girls. That sounds harsh, but it makes the atmosphere very stifling if you're not part of that demographic. 2. It's very much a luck-of-the-draw as far as who lands the big accounts, which is really where your salary comes from. Some accounts will seem like they can grow but they can't due to various issues, and it's very hard to know whether you'll actually get a good portfolio. 3. Very repetitive work. Lots of people leave after 1.5-2 years because the work gets tedious and better opportunities come along.

Pros

If you're lucky enough to have a good portfolio, you can advance and make a great salary pretty quickly (2-3 years). There's a plethora of free meals, travel, and social activities. It's a great chance to learn a ton of technical and soft skills fast if you're coming straight out of college into the entry level role.

Cons

It's a high pressure environment, but not always in the good way. Management failed to provide support for overwhelming workloads. Handling difficult clients was a huge stress. The 'bonus' system was unpredictable, causing frustration across the company. Merit did not always dictate reward. Workforce is not diverse at all - which is great if you fit their mold, which they try to make happen with their elaborate interviews, but not so great if you don't. The senior level 'boys-club' and cliquey environment was tiresome. The advancement structure was strictly defined with specific roles at each level and little willingness to tailor for individual strengths. Management training was comically minimal for so many people young in their careers, leading to problems being covered up rather than resolved.
