Pros

Flexible with time off, appointments and dress code; sometimes you get a free lunch from Costco

Cons

The company is family-run and doesn't allow for much, if any, growth. The management is awful; most people haven't ever worked in another company and don't have any experience outside this small "agency." The thought process behind any and all decision-making is archaic; most employees seem almost robotic because no one ever stands up for themselves or has an opinion let alone a personality. The company doesn't really care about the success or growth of their employees. Managers are not mentors and just micro-manage and make a huge deal out of small mistakes... which if they had ever worked in another company they'd know that it's a waste of time. Now and then management will ask for opinion to include the employees but they never take it to heart or put it into action. Retention is a huge huge issue and there has been one particular instance where about 10 employees quit in six week's time. They have completely ridiculous company rules that state that you can't take a day off before or after a paid holiday otherwise you won't be paid for the holiday (is that legal?) and they don't give recommendations of any sort when you leave the company... not a lot of incentive to respect or care about your work. There's no formal bonus structure but they'll give you a raise (after about a year), make a huge deal out of this "privilege" and then it'll be about $20 more per paycheck... plus you'll be working nine hours or more per day.

Pros

I worked for RevAgency for almost a year and during that time, I was appreciated and nurtured in my position. Everyone gets along and the company does a great job in fostering a good work environment from company lunches, company events, monthly mini-celebrations, etc. The events department works very hard to get everyone involved. The work itself is not THE most rewarding, it is sales after all, but you do feel accomplished at the end of the day and you feel it was a team effort. They provided a pretty standard but good benefits package as well. The managers give great feedback and the CEOs are a tight knit group. Yes, it is run my a family but they try to instill that family-like feel onto their employees. During their 50th anniversary event, they gave everyone name tags changing our last names to the CEOs'. Very sweet. I'd have to say its an excellent place to work.

Cons

Very few cons: Upward mobility is limited to fewer positions than other similarly sized companies, but this may have changed since my departure. The main con is that the pay was sub-par. With the company being based in Southern California, the base salary could be 1) higher and 2) more competitive compared to other similar companies'. I am not sure salaries would cap out to very much either, but I could be wrong in that regard... However, I definitely regret having to have moved on (I decided to take a job that paid more and was closer to home.)
