Pros

*Work: -Lots of different responsibilities. Work NEVER becomes mundane. -What I do is very rewarding. Over time, I received the opportunity to interact with CEO's, VP's and Marketing Managers across dozens of retail industries. -Fantastic experience, especially for an entry level position. -Management and coworkers take the time to help you learn and grow professionally. -Great balance between direction and freedom: When starting out, you are given a game plan/directions from management to help you grow into the position. Once you grow and prove yourself, there is a great amount of freedom into how you form your schedule. It is expected that you are efficient at time management, because there is always something to be done. -I truly do not work with anyone who is incompetent. The rigorous interview process helps to bring in the best and brightest. That may not seem like a big deal, but after previous poor work experiences, it is a HUGE plus! -Opportunity to travel. -Emphasis on ethical selling. Focus is put on being a consultant for retailers first and foremost. -The sales team is not built for a high employee churn rate like a lot of other companies - they invest in your potential! *Company benefits/ Environment: -Awesome CEO who definitely cares about everyone in the company. -Fully stocked kitchen that employees are free to access anytime. (Seriously, there is a drink machine with soda, Gatorade and chilled Starbucks drinks) -Game room with a ping pong table, Xbox 360 and dart board. -Catered lunch on Fridays. Employees can clock out early on Friday for an in-office happy hour. -Company is growing constantly. You feel like you're apart of a healthy, energetic atmosphere. -Great health, dental and vision plan. -401K benefits.

Cons

-Fast paced -Expectation to perform at a high level -Constant sales pressure -Have to read a couple educational books per month -Facing rejection or difficult people to speak with (These are all typical expectations of sales jobs)

Pros

ROI has more than doubled in size since I started here, which speaks to the growth and direction of our agency. Being said, you can still walk around the office and know most employees by name. Because our hiring process is so in-depth, you are guaranteed to spend your day with only the most intelligent, dedicated and personable co-workers! The social aspect of ROI is very strong - many ROI'ers are great friends across teams and departments and get together outside of work. Outside of the 1-2 months of initial training, I can't say I've ever had a slow day at ROI. Our industry is changing rapidly, and we pride ourselves on being the thought-leaders on those changes. While much of our day consists of data analysis, (which is more fun than it sounds!) we also constantly interact with clients, attend internal training, and collaborate with our Google teams. I haven't had a "boring" day in years. ROI is a great place to grow a career, and communication is really encouraged all of the way up to our leadership team. While travel is not a huge part of our jobs, I've had the opportunity to visit many new places as a result of client visits, trade shows and career fairs. Outside of work, travel is personal passion of mine and here, you can extend work trips with personal vacation. It's awesome! Oh, insurance is nearly 100% paid for. You can’t find that anywhere else.

Cons

As it is to be expected in our industry, Q4 is the most important time of the year for many of our clients. Be prepared to obsess/stress on behalf of clients during the holidays. Personally, I've spent many hours working during Thanksgiving. It’s just the nature of the job. Because we spend 90% of our time sitting, I think it would be beneficial to have some sort of office gym, or even better, a paid-for gym membership. Many tech companies offer this perk. We used to have free weekly yoga, but I think a broader fitness offer would incentivize employees to be healthier, (and probably more productive!)

Pros

For me personally, the career growth opportunities have been plentiful and each step has happened in a timely manner. I've held six different positions at ROI Revolution, and all of them have been a step up from the previous role in responsibility, seniority, and pay. Great coworkers who are extremely intelligent but also fun to be around make coming to work something to look forward to. The office is casual and relaxed. After an initial training period, the work is fast paced, time sensitive, and very involved, so having a positive, relaxed working environment is definitely a plus. Also, everyone is willing to help each other out. We're extremely competitive around here, but no one is too busy to help you brainstorm, problem solve, or just let you brag or vent in general. There is an extremely bright group of people dedicated to creating custom software and tools to help us make the tough work go as efficiently as possible. Almost any tool you could think up, they can make. It's amazing. There is a fully stocked break room accessible to all employees all the time. Basically, any type of food or drink you could want is in there, and if it's not, just request it, and you'll probably see it the next day. We also have Happy Hour every Friday afternoon at the office with drinks provided from the kegerator that offers seasonal beers on tap as well as a wine fridge with red, white, and champagne. Depending on the position, there is a good amount of travel, but not so much that you start to dread it. I average about 10 out of state trips per year. Most of the travel I've done in the last ten years has been because of my job. It's nice, because we have the opportunity to extend our stay for personal time, while the flights are covered by the company. Upper management is very accessible to everyone on staff. If you have questions or need to have a conversation with the CEO or any of the Directors, they're very willing to carve out some time in their calendars to chat.

Cons

Most of the staff are in their mid to late twenties. Just recently, there has been an uptick in more marriages and some pregnancies. Until recently, the company didn't really need to focus on being family friendly with its policies. It would be nice if there were less rigid time and attendance policies for everyone, especially people who have children. I do feel like upper management will realize in the next couple of years that the need for flexible schedules will increase as more people start families and will address it in a fair way. The accounts that we manage are always spending money online, regardless of the day of week or time of day, so it can get stressful to know that something could go wrong at any time. There are many checks and balances in place to alert us if there's a problem. That way, we don't have to worry 24/7. However, it is hard to disconnect. The office decor is not very edgy or current considering we're a top tier ecommerce marketing agency, but we try to combat that by personalizing our own spaces however we want.
