Pros

The CEO is very knowledgeable. Remote team.

Cons

Oh where to start! I did about six months of hard time with this agency. If I had been smart and looked up past employees on LinkedIn, I would have seen a 2-8 month tenure being the norm. In my short time there, I saw three terminations. And frankly, not all we’re justified. The CEO flies by the seat of his pants and needs to control everything. This may work for Elon Musk as he’s quite intelligent and Tesla is a huge thing, but does not work here. The CEO will often ask for things, then change his mind, or become upset with you for doing something he asked you to do that he decided after you did, he didn’t like. Or, he’ll want something done that ONLY he can approve… but he won’t approve it. It’s all very chaotic and you live in perpetual fear that he’s going to randomly fire you for something you did or didn’t do. It’s all stress and anxiety from day one. Final con: benefits are a joke. They lured me in with 100% paid benefits and then switched it to in excess of $400 a month. I can get that on the health care market on my own… so what’s the point of the FT job then? More so, it goes to show just how little employees are considered or valued. The CEO absolutely seems to think anyone and everyone are replaceable. However, he’s lost a ton of clients… so I’m guessing that’s really not the case.

Pros

Exposure to complex, cross-functional projects Fast-paced environment with opportunities to develop new skills Many team members were experienced, knowledgeable, and committed to delivering quality work

Cons

• Role responsibilities expanded well beyond the original job description without a corresponding adjustment in title, compensation, or formal recognition • Performance expectations and evaluation criteria were not consistently defined or applied • Many team members had extensive experience (often 15+ years), yet their expertise was not consistently trusted or leveraged in decision-making • Work that had already been reviewed or approved was frequently subject to last-minute changes to accommodate a single perspective, resulting in late nights, rework, and delayed client deliverables • Ongoing concerns about revenue were frequently communicated, while visibility into financial planning, forecasting, or resource allocation was limited at the team level • Hiring decisions were repeatedly made contrary to input from experienced team members, contributing to resource strain and ongoing financial instability • External consultants were frequently engaged in place of established internal processes that employees had already built and refined, creating duplicated effort and continued operational instability • Full-time hires were made with long-term expectations communicated upfront, yet many roles ultimately functioned more like short-term or contingent arrangements, leading to repeated layoffs and organizational instability • Sales-to-account management handoffs were inconsistent, contributing to onboarding challenges, misaligned expectations, and downstream delivery strain • Processes and accountability standards were regularly emphasized, but not consistently modeled or enforced at the leadership level, creating misalignment and confusion
