Pros

– Great People, all around – Good Benefits – Swag all the time

Cons

– Creatively, the work on their site and what they expressed in the interviews greatly differed from the majority of the actual work. Lots of powerpoint, lots of strategy decks – It's a 100% billable time company- you are constantly reminded of that and expected to clock 45 hours minimum a week. Everyone e-mails all hours of the day. Work/life is expressed but not practiced. – Copywriting by committee – there isn't a single full-time copywriter which equals everyone writing something, which equals poor copywriting. – Account driven, client feared: Never say no, or act as the expert, for fear of upsetting the client – Rushed timelines that always results in poor creative – Zero project management system, no Jira or Asana here – Meetings all the time, every day, forever

Pros

I have never witnessed intention and care like I have at Global Prairie. The level of care that is put into the treatment of the employees, the work we do, and our communities is astounding. The leadership team is unmatched: everyone embraces you for your unique strengths, contributions, and perspective and empowers you to use them to propel yourself and the organization forward. There are countless incredible leaders to look up to and who inspire you to do great work every day. Global Prairie is also fun: we work exceptionally hard but we also have a blast at the same time. I couldn't imagine a better place to work.

Cons

If you are a hard worker and are willing to put in your best every day, this is the place for you. Be prepared to work hard!

Pros

The team at Global Prairie is truly exceptional. Nearly everyone I work with is an amazing balance of smart AND kind. We move quickly and do good work, together. We produce highly creative and highly strategic outcomes for our clients. Because of the employee ownership model, I feel closely connected to the growth of the company and my teammates. With regular "growth" or promotion cycles, career growth is completely attainable - especially if you're willing to put in the hard work, network with colleagues and lean into Global Prairie's values. There is flexibility within roles and high levels of collaboration across functions/departments. I'm coming from outside the agency world, but colleagues coming from other agencies feel a refreshing difference with the culture, community and working style at Global Prairie.

Cons

Like any client-services company, you need to be willing to put in work. Expect to work FULL workdays. Flexibility is also critical as accounts and teams within accounts transition a decent amount based on client and team needs.
