Pros

Cosmitto is full of people eager to learn and do the best work for their clients. There are opportunities to work on your strengths and weakness and grow into the type of worker you want to be. There is a great work remote policy and vacation policy! The review system is set and very informative. I find feedback to be key in my growth as a professional and my reviews always ended with ways to improve and while also noting my success and growth thus far.

Cons

I would the biggest thing item for me was the diversity and inclusion at the company was still being formed. It is something that they are working on and I know they will do an amazing job at incorporating. That being said, it is a very welcoming and judgement-free space to work.

Pros

In the nine months I've worked at Cosmitto, I have learned so much about the digital marketing industry as a whole. I joined the agency during the initial stages of the ownership change, and came in with a background in journalism. My previous work experiences overlapped into certain phases of my position, but there was still a lot about digital marketing that I had to pick up on. Cosmitto's culture is geared toward constant growth in a family-environment, and working with a diverse range of clientele across various industries helped make my transition interesting. I've been allowed to try different duties and responsibilities – even ones that weren't in my initial job description – which have all helped me sharpen my professional skill set. I enjoy the people here. From the top-down, everyone is young, friendly and non-judgemental. If you have an opinion about content or social media strategies you are always free to express it openly. The office is in an ideal location in downtown Pittsburgh around a lot of cool lunch spots, happy hours and coffee shops. And the remote-work policy is nice, too.

Cons

The old office left over from previous ownership was really boring and bland, but Nikki and Matt are in the process of a complete remodel to give it more of a modern agency feel.

Pros

-Flexibility (work from home days, unlimited sick days, 16 vacation days your first year, then two more added for each year of employment, relaxed work environment) -Benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k) -Fun days (beer and pizza Friday, holiday parties, happy hours) -Casual dress code -Everyone is generally nice and helpful (employees and clients)

Cons

-Disorganization out the wazoo. Seriously, things would change once a week. -CLIQUES. I kept thinking I was in high school instead of a content marketing agency. Everyone is young (22-32), which is fine, but there are some immature folks in the mix who are only there to socialize. -Basically an entry level job factory. They hire you, pay you nothing, make you do more than 40 hours worth of week, then you move on somewhere else with better pay and less work and realize what you've been missing. -Constant concern for your job security because of the budgetary issues and client turnover. Many were let go for a variety of reasons during my time there. -Clients leave left and right. Not sure if it's because the people hired don't receive proper training and don't know what they're doing and clients get annoyed or if the agency charges too much for some of the crap they churn out.

Hi there! We appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts and are happy to report that Cosmitto (formerly known as Community Elf) has made it a priority to address the points you brought up under new ownership. Although we’re still primarily made up of young professionals, we embrace the fresh and innovative ideas that our collaborative team brings to each account. While client turnover is common in agency work, we’ve been lucky to have several long-standing partnerships with clients and are always improving our processes and strategies to increase client retention. Since the acquisition, the new ownership and many of our original team members have had a fresh start! We’re excited about who we are as a company and where we’re going.
