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

Pros

I learned an incredible amount at Stella Rising. Because it’s a mid sized agency, you work directly with many people at all levels of leadership and cross functionally, as well. You are exposed to decision making at all steps and get a great picture of what it’s like to manage and run effective strategy and media. The people are smart and also warm and wonderful. I truly made some of my closest friends here. They are always willing to let you explore something you’re interested in so just speak up! You get an incredible amount of vacation and personal time to use.

Cons

I don’t really have cons, I left because I received a job offer which I couldn’t refuse.
