Pros

My time at Pure Strategic has been nothing short of amazing. As a digital marketer, I got to work with an amazing group of coworkers that made coming to work every day amazing. The atmosphere is collaborative, encouraging, and fun. A typical day at Pure Strategic moves quickly — the team is fast-paced and understands how to get things done in a timely and efficient manner while also meeting and exceeding client’s expectations. Work-life balanced is valued and encouraged, which isn’t always the case with most digital agencies. 7 hour work days, a zen room, and a casual atmosphere are all things that I really appreciated. The team comes to work hungry to work hard and efficiently, and then be able to leave for the day and not have to check email on a commute home. I’ve gained an immense amount of experience and widened my skillset vastly working with Chris and the team at Pure Strategic — something I’ll always be grateful for! PS is an amazing place to work.

Cons

Can't think of any.

Pros

Most of the employees are nice and talented.

Cons

Good resume builder, but the emotional stress and anxiety was excessive. Owner/President, Chris, is way too involved and clearly wants to be a good boss but his egomaniacal ways prevent him from having the self-awareness to see that nothing he thinks about the company culture is actually true. He is irrational and has no control of his emotions, plus he surrounds himself with "yes men" so no one ever tells him the truth. If you try to stand up to him he won't listen and you'll get shot down and belittled/demeaned in an emotional outburst. Even writing this, I was hesitant because I'm afraid of him taking out his anger on the current employees, as he can't take any criticism and will try to deflect. However, I think people need to know what they are signing up for. Also, education is not a priority and there are no opportunities (other than "mentoring" by Chris) so you have to learn on your personal time. Even when you learn on your own, Chris is not open to new ideas or any evolution/modernization (again, he only tolerates "yes men" and doesn't listen). Finally, he underpays for industry standards.
