I love it here

Pros

When you work at Trendline, you are the owner of your project. If you have an idea on how to make a process better, you can propose it and make it happen. Everyone is very collaborative so if you need help, all you have to do is ask. You can also be independent and there are no micro managers who will stunt your growth. The Chicago-based office has the best office dynamics I have ever experienced because while we are all co-workers, we are also friends.

Cons

In Chicago, we are a very lively bunch of people so it may not work well for someone who is shy or does not like to talk. Also if you work better with someone always looking over your shoulder, Trendline may not be the best fit.

Pros

I have been working in the Chicago office for over 2 years, and it has been great! This is the company that will create the foundation for your future. Since we are still some what small, you will play many different roles in one position which will help you gain undeniable experience. They take growth and promotions very seriously, and positions have actually been created to make them attainable. This is just one way you are supported by your managers, co-workers, and especially the co-founders, Morgan and Andrew.

Cons

The Chicago office dynamic is very loud, outgoing, and friendly.  A very reserved, private person may not be the best fit. That being said we do have a brand new, larger remodeled office that allows for everyone to have their own space to get work done.

Pros

I have worked at Trendline Interactive full-time for over 3 years in the Chicago office. I can honestly say that this is the best company I have ever worked for. The management, at all levels, treat you with the utmost respect and encourage you to grow and develop your career. I have been enabled to to develop myself professionally and personally while working here and moved into a management role that didn't even exist when I was hired. I have never had that feeling of dread when heading into work at Trendline. In fact, I am excited for work and take great pride in what I am able to accomplish while there. The office environment can be described with the old cliche "work hard, play hard." The employees in Chicago and all very dedicated to the work we perform, and at the same time support each other in both a personal and professional manner, from the entry-level team members to our co-founder. I really cannot say enough good things about this company and the people who work there.

Cons

The team is spread out through the US from New Jersey to LA and everywhere in between. There are time zone and cultural differences between the offices which can sometimes make it difficult to collaborate if you are a typical 9-5 worker. Clients are also spread out which can sometimes require that you work early or stay late to get the job done. If you are looking for a traditional office environment with clearly defined roles and bureaucracy with a set 9-5 work day, this job is not for you.
