      Pros

      loved the vibe of the company, everyone was so welcoming and we had a great company culture! hired on contract and moving onto a full time position elsewhere but I had a blast at BLKBX, leaning more about the industry and making friends. execs were super approachable too, everyone on the same team attitude!

      Cons

      because we are a smaller team, sometimes had to work more hours when certain projects came up but wasn't that much of an issue usually since it was fun

      A Great Place to Grow

      Pros

      It's a small company so there is a lot of opportunity to learn. In a bigger agency projects come in and only a finite group of people will get to work on it. Here they encourage genuine fans to help brainstorm and get the team excited. Since I've been here, there has been a ton of changes within management & team members-- a little bumpy at first, but now it's lookin like we are on a steady path and it's exciting to see what will happen next.

      Cons

      You'll need to put on a lot of hats to help the company keep growing, but at the same time you still get to know the different aspects of the business during the process. When I first got here, nothing was really in place and it was kind of hectic. It's taken a while but we're finally looking stable.

      Management don't know how to run an ad agency, the team suffers

      Pros

      • The greater team (producers, designers, social, etc) were a great bunch of people who really wanted to make great creative and cutting edge marketing materials. No matter how passionate they were, there were always roadblocks from the most senior management/founders, who consistently made terrible decisions - decisions that were bad for morale and bad for business. • Team bonding/commiserating due to said issues • Brief dog-friendly office. This was also vetoed after fleeting joy was had. • Standing desks • Filter coffee provided • Free paper-clips (limit 5 per year)

      Cons

      There were some big personalities and some big ideas in this place that were consistently shut down by senior management. There were constant roadblocks to project success and growth of the company, and the most intelligent and thoughtful opinions were not listened to. Decisions were made regardless of detailed strategies and dedicated time put in by talented employees, which lead to widespread burn-out and general frustration. While senior management may have had "good intentions", good intentions don't mean you actually know how to run an advertising agency. This was consistently obvious by the choices being made that would surprise the team. A great company is the product of it's employees, and unfortunately this wasn't realized at BLKBX.
