Pros

- The people are amazing! A group of smart, kind individuals who want to do the best they can for themselves, the team, and the clients. I personally met a lot of outside of work friends at ROI which made relocating to the area a lot more enjoyable. - Career Development: You get to work on really awesome, dynamic projects. As I reflect on the work I did and the initiatives I led, I don't see many of my peers with the same credentials. - Feedback: This might be a con for some, but I personally loved the consistent feedback that is shared. I always knew where I stood with my manager and I could consistently be working on ways to grow. - Structure without Limitations: ROI really embraces growth so if you have ideas on things that could improve the job or work we do, there is a lot of freedom to lead those projects. If you choose to do so there is a lot of mentorship and support from management and senior leadership. My favorite memories heavily align with the additional projects I took on and it does help when the promotion cycle comes.

Cons

Keep in mind, I recommend ROI as a great place to work, but everywhere has its cons. - Limited Growth Paths: This is something management was actively working on when I left, but for many situations it's either a manager role or you leave if you want to progress in your career past a certain point. Management roles also don't come up often and are very competitive meaning you might have to wait a long time to pass that barrier. - Diversity: Unfortunately ROI really falls short here. DEI initiatives have been started but lose steam quickly. - Onboarding Resources: If you are coming in with experience and starting higher than an analyst, it seems to be a very tough transition. I don't believe there is the proper training resources in place or management training to help such a training be successful. - Inconsistent Management: I always loved my managers, but your experience can vary vastly depending who your manager is. I've seen quite a few long-standing managers become complacent in their roles and their team members suffer because of it. - Work Life Balance: It's good when you compare it to typical agency life, but at the end of the day, it feels like you're being asked to provide the same level of service, but within 42.5 hours for them to say that we have work life balance. Managers care that you're overworked, but only a few of them will actually help you reduce your workload because it's often out of their control. - Feedback: This is a pro for me, but it can be a shock for people who aren't used to getting consistent feedback.

Pros

ROI has an incredibly positive and supportive culture. Across every team I’ve worked with, people are consistently kind, intelligent, collaborative, and genuinely invested in helping each other succeed. The level of talent across the organization is motivating because you’re surrounded by experts who care deeply about producing great work. Leadership is exceptionally transparent and thoughtful. There’s a strong level of communication and clarity around company goals, decisions, and expectations, which creates a lot of trust across the organization. The company also places a strong emphasis on growth and development. We have a dedicated Client Services Learning & Development Manager who creates trainings based on current trends in the digital marketing space and real challenges teams are actively navigating, which makes the learning opportunities feel relevant and practical. Work life balance is another major positive. Employees start with four weeks of PTO, which increases with tenure, and the company has core working hours from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Most teams typically work around 40 to 45 hours per week. The hybrid schedule is also a great benefit. Teams are in office 2 to 3 days a week, which allows for collaboration and relationship building while still offering flexibility to work remotely. The office environment has great energy, and there are plenty of opportunities to connect with coworkers through weekly catered lunches, happy hours, and team events.

Cons

The company hires exceptionally strong talent, which creates a high standard of excellence and accountability across teams. The environment is fast paced, with an expectation that employees take ownership, stay proactive, and consistently produce high quality work. It’s great for individuals who thrive in collaborative, high performing environments, but it may feel challenging for those who prefer a slower pace or need more structure around prioritization and time management.

Pros

Working at ROI Revolution has many positives, particularly the culture of collaboration. You never feel like you’re on an island because there is always excellent brainstorming and resource support available. The peer-to-peer support is outstanding, and it is incredibly motivating to work alongside fellow problem-solvers who share a consistent drive to deliver excellent work for our clients. Additionally, despite being an agency, the work-life balance here is actually been really wonderful the last several years - I think this is largely due to improvements in how client portfolios and team sizes are set. I also have to shout out our admin team for providing wonderful office perks, and our HR team, who are incredibly supportive, accessible, and genuinely helpful.

Cons

Agency life naturally comes with occasional high-pressure periods, and the intensity can vary depending on the client and how they're performing. At times, some members of Senior Leadership may get more directly involved with specific accounts, which can create extra urgency or require some additional lift from the team. That said, the support and collaboration across the organization helps those moments feel manageable.
