Pros

Absolutely zero pros about working here other than the fact that I left.

Cons

I will try and keep this as professional as possible, but this is by far the worst company I have ever worked for in my entire life, including trivial jobs as a teenager. On the surface, the company seems great, inclusive, and like it is a dream job. Unfortunately, I learned that it was quite the opposite. I was never trained and worked there for about half a year. I would constantly be asking my boss if there was anything I could do, and he would never give me any assignments, or he would give me something that took literally 5 minutes to do. They flaunt work life balance in the interviews, but will expect you to stay late and give work assignments minutes before leaving. Not only that, there are mandatory after work functions constantly. Besides the poor work environment, I was constantly belittled by my boss, and nitpicked every single thing I did down to my handwriting not being up to their standard. They would constantly find things wrong with what I did, yet they were busy putting off their work to take long lunches and lost multiple accounts in the short duration I was there, due to the lack of effort put in. I remember having business meetings, and they would be completely unprepared, have no notes to give the companies we were working with, or literally any updates on what they asked us to do, because they were never working on it. The HR seems very useful until you find out that it is a game of favorites, and they will protect their higher ups for poor performance and blame new hires for the mistakes. So, even if you are feeling mistreated, there is literally nowhere you can go in the company to seek help. I will forever turn anyone away from this company to save them from the nightmare treatment I receive that still haunts me to this day and has caused me to change fields entirely. I neve want to experience something like this again, and have already turned away multiple peers who received offers from Stella Rising.

Pros

“Stella" is the latin word for "star" and it shows. I have worked at numerous companies of all sizes, and Stella Rising was the best company that I have had the pleasure of joining throughout my career. It really is all about the amazing people at Stella Rising - appropriately known as Stellas! I have never seen leadership care about its employees they way they do at Stella - a very unique trait of upper management. Leadership is transparent and focuses on open communication and quarterly updates- the CEO and CMO are the brightest women I have ever worked for (also very proud that the company was women-led). The company promotes a supportive, uplifting and inclusive environment that centers around its people. Stella treats all employees - regardless of tenure or level - with respect and compassion. Despite the plethora of agencies in the industry, Stella manages to stand out by hiring the best and brightest in the industry, and committing themselves to excellence. While they aim to hire experts in the digital marketing / paid media / marketplace industries, Stella also encourages cross-trainings and learning within the company, to promote further growth. HR is very supportive, from the very first day of hire and all throughout your career. Benefits are also unbeatable! The clients were also wonderful to work with, some of the most exciting brands in the Consumer Goods industry. You are guaranteed to learn a LOT, about a number of different fields and industries, working with incredibly talented people. I have only the most amazing things to say about my 4 years at the company, and cannot recommend it highly enough to someone looking for a role on the agency side.

Cons

No cons to note - I loved it here.
