Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn about e-commerce, the basics of programming, how to build a website, and how to manage client relationships and demands.

Cons

The owner is incredibly insecure, and often takes out his insecurities on his employees. The reason they request entry-level employees for open positions is so they do not have to pay well, yet still demand 50+ hour workweeks. Another thing they did not mention upon my hiring was that other benefits, such as insurance, wouldn't kick in until well over half a year. Only one week of paid time off. The owner tries to pit workers against each other because he believes this is "healthy competition" that will increase sales. This was a terrible work experience, and sadly, most of the workers who are still there are very dissatisfied with their job and are too afraid to say anything for fear of losing their job. Not a lot of room to move up because the company is so small and constrained by a backward business model. I saw through LinkedIn that the number one sales manager recently left, so outlook for this company to continue to thrive isn't looking positive, as he sold nearly 100% of their clients.

Pros

EYStudios is a great place to work. I've been here over 3 years, and most of our employees have a really long tenure. Like an agency, there's a ton of room to get involved with a large range of roles and areas of focus, which puts you on a fast track to more expertise, which I love. That being said, since there aren't 100s of employees to pick up the slack, every person matters and has to pull their weight. Some people don't like that, and probably just aren't a fit for agency life. Leadership is great, and really dedicated to the wellbeing of the employees, which is why many stay (I think our longest tenure is like 11 years, with many at 9, 7, etc.) Unlimited time off after 2 years of service is great. The job and people are very flexible. Very positive leadership style. Yelling, threatening, etc. do not fly here.

Cons

It's an agency, and a small business, so while that is not a con for me, it definitely will be for some people. There's really no place to hide if you don't want to put in full effort. Benefits are small business benefits, so know what you're signing up for before you do. Fast paced and every changing environment. Again, I love that about it, but if you want a place where things are set in stone and every situation is governed by a corporate handbook, look elsewhere

Pros

I had a positive experience at EY Studios. The team is collaborative, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to delivering great work for clients. Leadership was a standout, especially Chief Client Officer, Chris Kosiba, whose support, transparency, and people-first approach made a meaningful impact on my experience.

Cons

As a smaller organization, compensation and benefits were limited, which ultimately influenced my decision to move on. That said, the culture and leadership made it a place I genuinely enjoyed being part of, and I’m grateful for my time there.
