Pros

Has a reputable client list, offers wellness days, kind people

Cons

This company is a marketing agency but is also a small family business that lacks boundaries. Communication is highly unprofessional and you definitely will be wearing many hats as if you were at a startup. Everything is very disorganized. Leadership doesn't seem to know what they're doing, therefore, you have to do everything yourself. Be prepared to advocate for all of your needs including pay. The company lacks transparency and is not receptive to feedback even though they promote a culture where everyone is honest and open. There are a lot of secrets and drama that distract from the actual work at hand.

We appreciate your feedback and you recognizing our reputable client list, wellness days and kind people in our organization. I agree that we have been operating like a startup and need better organization. There have been challenges in transitioning from a virtual events company to an in-person, hybrid, and virtual company. The majority of the team is new to the in-person process, but we are proud of the growth and learning opportunities all of our employees have experienced in a short period of time. I agree with your advice that we need to better recognize the bandwidth of our team and provide resources for success. We have listened and are making substantial changes to improve the employee experience moving forward.

Pros

I was able to complete all necessary work as a community team member while maintaining a balance as a student to fulfill a full course load and explore additional hobbies. I could take on additional work in other areas and explore areas of interest within the company. Constantly working with Fortune 500 companies and exposed to numerous advances in tech, numerous industries, and people from all backgrounds. An exceptional team to work with, where each individual truly cares for each other and for the success of the company.

Cons

Tasks for the community team can be very repetitive while conducting outreach.
