A Complete Waste of Time and Energy

Pros

Absolutely none. My experience here was deeply disappointing, and I would warn anyone to stay far away.

Cons

- Leadership is greedy and openly biased, crushing morale and fairness. - Unreasonable expectations are piled on constantly, leaving employees drained and defeated. - Hard work goes unrewarded, while a select few incompetent people advance only through favoritism and connections. - The environment is toxic and exploitative, making every day feel like a trap rather than a career. - Working here will drain your energy, crush your spirit, and waste your time.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, even though we're disappointed to hear it was so negative. The issues you've described, including biased leadership, unreasonable expectations, lack of recognition, and a toxic environment, represent fundamental problems that no employee should face. We take this feedback seriously. While we can't undo your experience, we want you to know that your feedback matters and these concerns will be integrated into the changes we are seeking to make build a more equitable and supportive workplace. Thanks again.

Creating something new is hard

Pros

Lots of room to create your own structure and process. Respectful that employees are people. The organization actually cares about DEI, operationally, not just as lip service. Tons of opportunity for learning. Thoughtful CEO, who communicates clearly.

Cons

It is a difficult industry space for an org to enter, and I don't know anyone who does full service consultancy + agency particularly well. If you're gritty and you like creating your own structure, this can also be a pro.
