      Pros

      Rivers is one of the best boutique agencies in the area. Since Rivers doesn’t focus on a particular industry, there’s a really robust mix of projects including branding, web and app design and a lot of print work too. Clients range from national/regional chains to small local startups. The leadership at Rivers encourages employees to grow and learn and provides opportunities to develop skills, attend conferences, etc. The creative team is supportive and collaborative. It really feels like everyone is here focused on doing their best work. Rivers offices are in a beautiful (really beautiful) open space in downtown Chapel Hill that’s walkable to restaurants and shops. Parking is paid for by the agency. Employee lunches are catered on Fridays and the kitchen is constantly stocked with snacks and coffee. Benefits are on par with larger companies. Work/life balance is pretty good for an ad agency - it’s rare that people work nights or weekends - and there's a fairly low turnover rate considering how large the agency has become.

      Cons

      Only small growing pains. This a great place to work.

      Pros

      Incredible place to work. An amazing place to grow as a creative and learn from some of the most passionate, skilled advertisers and developers you could ever hope to meet. Strong, supportive spirit of collaboration.

      Cons

      They can be a very brutally honest with you, which is a good thing, so be prepared to have thick skin and not take feedback personally. The criticism is always in service of helping you grow and delivering work for the client.

      Pros

      With over 25 years of experience in the advertising and entertainment industries, I can say without exaggeration that working for a woman-owned advertising agency is a breath of fresh air. Rivers Agency is helmed by a woman who has the business acumen to celebrate over 30 years doing what she loves, while never losing sight of the welfare of her community and her employees. She has surrounded herself with a talented team of professionals who work passionately together to push the creative and technical envelope every day for their clients. I am proud to have been part of this team for nearly four years, and have been continually fulfilled by the diversity of our clients, the longevity of our relationships, and the inspiration I draw from my teammates. I hope to spend many more years here as a valued member of the team.

      Cons

      There are no negatives that come to mind. Having many years of experience, I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. The Rivers Agency is an exceptional place to work.
