Pros

Rapid personal growth Constant fulfilling work Amazing people to work with

Cons

You will be taken advantage of, you will be beaten down, and you will be told that your best is never good enough. For some, this will cause an internal drive to be the best you can possibly be. And for those people, you will excel. But for the rest, it will cause a lifetime of crippling self-doubt and a near complete destruction of any self-respect you once had for yourself. Once you're completely used up, you will be thrown away. If you quit, nobody will care or acknowledge the years of your life you gave to be the best you could be. Instead, somebody who you don't even know will tell the entire company that you're gone at 4:30PM, and you won't be given the courtesy of even hearing your friends and colleagues say goodbye before your email is unceremoniously shut off promptly at 5PM. It is an abusive relationship that you will enter into, and the damage that it will cause you just isn't worth the utterly unremarkable salary you can probably find at a smaller company that will at least treat you like a human being.

Pros

9Rooftops was my total favourite agency and workplace. My colleagues were excellent, hugely talented, great humans, full of empathy and grace with a ‘let’s do this team’ attitude. Remote working was supported and everyone was kind and supportive from day one.

Cons

There have been a lot of changes recently, which have been tough and which have seen management changes and loss of team members.

Pros

When the agency was doing well, it was a great place to work. The teams were collaborative, leadership was supportive, and personal development was always a consideration.

Cons

New business is hard to come by and so layoffs are very prevalent. Layoff choices are confusing and short-sighted, leaving mid-level top performers left to do triple the work without a single promotion or raise in sight.
