Pros

-Great Starter Job with a competitive entry level salary. Excellent resume builder and a great place to make connections across the digital advertising industry. -Fantastic Training program to introduce you to the digital advertising space - especially SEM/Paid Search -After 2-3+ years of experience many companies will reach out to you offering to double or almost double your salary if you have proven experience in SEM/SEO/Digital Marketing - you can shop around for offers and locations this includes big name companies like Google/Microsoft/Amazon and even other companies within Charlottesville -The culture at RKG is fantastic and it's best feature. The people are friendly and no one is cutthroat. Everyone is supportive and looking to help each other out. -The snack closet is a great plus

Cons

-Your salary does not increase as the demands do and increased productivity does not lead to higher pay -If you demonstrate that you are a highly capable worker you get more work and a promotion that is a token increase in salary -No incentive to work harder/be more productive with limited room for pay increases and advancement -No real career path or room for development

Pros

- The work-life balance is great. Few get in before 8 and most clock out around 5 (with the exception of Q4, when things naturally pick up a little bit) - You will pick up a marketable skill set while working in the rapidly growing internet advertising space - The people are for the most part all fairly intelligent. - Charlottesville residents generally enjoy a small-town pace of living with the amenities of a larger suburban area. RKG's central location on the downtown mall is within a few steps of the center of town where there are a number of decent restaurants. - The company culture is definitely a bonus. Teams do get pretty close and the company sponsors a number of outside sports leagues and other activities outside of work throughout the year. They Keep a pretty well stocked snack closet as well

Cons

- For the work you do, RKG simply does not pay employees enough to attract great talent. - While the work itself can be interesting, the reality is that it will be difficult to really advance your career at RKG (or anywhere in Charlottesville for that matter). - I Found Paid Search adverstising to be interesting, and the learning curve was certainly significant. However the day to day nature of the work can be a bit mundane and repetitive.
