Pros
I have been with Rivers Agency for over 10 years now and have been part of its growth from a small scrappy team of dedicated professionals to the large agency it is today. In that time, my own skills have also grown and improved immeasurably with each new project and client. I can count the number of boring days on one hand; there is always something new to learn or tackle.
Management has always had great ambition and success getting and retaining new clients and exciting projects. Along with a strong core team, this has allowed the agency to grow into the powerhouse it is today with great employees, great benefits, great clients, and a great location.
Despite all the growth, management has never lost the care for employees or the family feel. Management has always been very responsive to personal concerns, life commitments, and the needs of employees. Hours can be flexible around the realities of life and the benefits package continues to improve year after year. Perks such as free parking, many catered lunches, and a beautiful office come with the job.
I have enjoyed teaching new team members as they come on board and learning from them as well. Employees are encouraged to get certifications, lead classes, attend conferences, and take leadership roles. You will not lack for opportunity, camaraderie, or exciting projects here.
Cons
You'll need to be comfortable managing personal deadlines and juggling projects in a fast paced environment. However, I don't think this is significantly different from any other busy agencies you'll find.
