Pros

Excellent work-life balance with top notch benefits, PTO and flexibility. Management team truly cares about their employees, is always upbeat and positive and continually shares meaningful news about the agency. Stella Rising does fun and interesting activities for employees such as monthly celebrations for holidays, bi-weekly happy hours, fully stocked kitchens, training academies and constantly gives back to the community. It is a great agency with talented and intelligent people to learn from and if you put in the time and effort your hard work will not go unnoticed.

Cons

I don't have any, I have worked for other large and small media agencies and this agency has been a good career choice for me.

Pros

Many wonderful people with a lot to offer. Very nice office spaces. Great environment for those who prefer a small agency mindset.

Cons

Despite its tagline, the agency lacks vision, evidenced by frequent and drastic organizational shifts that never seem to "stick". Leadership is the biggest issue. Managers picks favorites, and to a degree I’ve never experienced elsewhere; my managers’ apparent lack of interest in my growth was so pronounced that it began to feel intentional. Policies and processes were very inconsistent across teams. Leadership often made attempts at transparency to employees about business plans, financials, etc., but it often resulted in even more confusion, swirl, and concern about job stability. I had extremely high hopes for working at Stella Rising and was very disappointed by how my time there devolved.

Pros

- I have been working at Stella Rising for the past 6 months and so far have had a great experience transitioning from my old agency to this one. The whole team has been very welcoming and the onboarding process was good to get me up to speed with clients and brand history. - Since COVID-19, the company has made shifts to help the WFH situation go smoothly - I always feel in the know and up to speed on updates and financial plans and have felt I am being invested in for long-term growth - I love the flexibility in my work schedule and summer Friday's is a major plus. Very good benefits and vacation packages! - Amazing company culture! Everyone is friendly & supportive and the company has gone to great lengths to make it a fun place to work.

Cons

- Given uncertainties within the current digital media landscape, I am weary of potential growth, bonuses and promotions in the future - Can sometimes be stressful with short amount of lead times to complete tasks
