Pros
Working for NextAfter was an amazing experience. The people I worked alongside of were some of the smartest people I’ve met in the world of marketing. I was proud to do the work that I was doing because the agency’s clients are nonprofit and caused based organizations, meaning a successful campaign could feed hungry kids, or generally help people who have fallen victim to unfortunate circumstances. The company paid for lunches every day, paid 100% for health, vision, and dental for me and the entire family, and offered a generous PTO package. The thing that stood out to me the most was they actually allowed me to have paternal leave only 2 weeks after starting the position. Tim is an Passionate CEO who cares about his employees. The executive team are all down-to-earth individuals who have no egos at all. I would definitely recommend working for NextAfter if given the opportunity.
Cons
The work load can be quite heavy. This was the fastest paced agency I’ve worked at which was a challenge for me. The job required that I wear a lot of hats from some basic coding, to email marketing, to social media marketing, to landing page development, to graphic design in photoshop, to content writing, etc... I personally felt like the work was all over the place but some people might enjoy that kind of work. It wasn’t for me but I will always appreciate my time working there.
