Pros

The pay was decent and you could tell the owners were nice people

Cons

Toxic, no work-life balance, mean girl culture, zero accountability from leadership, pretentious, blame-shifting people at this agency - which all contradict the "we are a family" culture they try so hard to promote. I was SO THANKFUL we went our separate ways because for several months, I suffered severe anxiety working there every day, and these sentiments were shared by a lot of my co-workers! I also recently found out that a manager in my former team filed a complaint against the agency's leadership and quit 2 days after because of the way low-ranking employees were being treated.

Pros

I can’t even think of any, really. There were a few cool people, but none of them lasted.

Cons

Incredibly toxic, mean girl environment. Leadership has a habit of gossiping about employees they don’t like to people working directly under them - which leaves you wondering what they’re saying about you when you’re not around. The leadership that doesn’t actively participate in fostering negativity does absolutely nothing to support their employees when that negativity affects them. Zero support overall. There is an astonishing lack of accountability and a ton of blame shifting. Certain favorite employees are given permission to essentially not perform their job functions, while others are punished for small slip-ups, just because a member of leadership doesn’t “like” them personally. The work-life balance is terrible. You are expected to be available 24/7, and are given projects with impossible expectations, while at the same time scolded for not keeping “profitability” top of mind if your hours run long. The way they let me go was also incredibly frustrating. Not even a week prior, I had been told my work on a very high-level project was instrumental to its success, and I had been praised by multiple higher-ups for my contributions. But apparently, once they got that out of me, I was no longer considered profitable. This company is not going to last. They lose clients and employees all the time, and never seem to understand that it happens because of their poor performance.
