Pros

-The company culture is very welcoming and everyone who works there is very nice. Most employees are young professionals out of college. -Great training program

Cons

- Your are constantly working a multiple projected for various clients throughout the day and have time limits on each project. Everyday there is a new long list of projects and trainings for you to complete on top of your client account responsibilities. - Their pay is extremely low compared to other digital marketing positions that is why 80% of their staff if fresh college graduates. They try to reel you in with their "cool culture" and hope it will convince you to take a lower salary. - Heavy Micro-Managed environment. You are automatically clocked out if your computer sits Idle for more then 10 minutes and you have a clock in timer that times how long you've been working so you can't log off unless your work your full alotted time. -They expect you to do other book readings, work and certifications outside of work hours which are optional but if you don't complete them you are frowned upon and they shame you. Almost like they don't expect you to have a work life balance. - They don't actually care about you creating quality work. They want you to just do enough and make sure you get the work done by the deadlines. There were a lot of times where I disagreed with the quality of work they expected us to complete and when I told them that it wasn't fair to the clients they said "it didn't really matter" -They give really vague guidelines for tools and CMS's they never trained you on and expect you to get things done. They apologized for the terrible guidelines but never did anything to fix it and sometimes there was no one who could assist you or answer you questions until hours later past the deadlines for the projects. - I got in trouble for taking extra time then the alotted time to produce quality content, keyword reasearch, and other purposeful on-page seo optimizations. - I was eventually laid off and they told me I wasn't a good fit for a digital marketing career path and never gave me any specific reasoning. I think it was because I truly cared too much about producing only the best quality work for client who pay thousand for our service. A few month later I got a new Digital Marketing job and generated the company millions of dollars in the first 2 years and ended up making a six figure salary. Don't ever let anyone nonetheless a careless digital marketing company tell you your not good enough for the industry.

Pros

Not going to sugarcoat it - the work is hard and the expectations are real. But the flip side is you actually learn things and move up if you perform. I went from jr to sr in a reasonable timeframe because the progression path is transparent and based on merit. FXLearns certifications, ongoing training, solid coaching. The office perks are a cherry on top - snacks, coffee, gym, standing desks. The StemFX scholarship program and charity initiatives make you feel like the work matters beyond revenue.

Cons

The pace is fast and you can fall behind if you don't focus. There's a lot of change - new tools, new processes, new initiatives rolling out constantly. Adapting is part of the job. I'd also say client work can be draining depending on who you're working with. Some clients are great, others... less so.

Pros

Wow! So many pro's,..Where do I start? Gotta say that the people here that I get to work with are just amazing. Each day I look forward to being here with them and overcoming any challenge together. At day one the positivity and care shown to myself, for each other, for our clients and for the common goal of the company is evident. Powered by positivity isn't just a slogan here, but a way of life that is infectious. That starts with a vision and great leadership from the top down. From the first tour through our campus, to our team celebrations and to our amazing company wide events I have been treated like family. The perks feel endless with our own in-house barista, food trucks, snack walls, fitness gym, kayaks, bikes, bring your pet to work desks and an awesome atmosphere designed for healthy productivity. All of this is located on a beautiful campus overlooking the Susquehanna river here in Central Pa. If your looking for a place that feels more than just a workplace and to be who you are. Would you be excited to grow along side incredible people towards a common goal and have a blast doing it this is the place for you! Speaking for myself it is the very best place I could have ever asked for employment and it feels like home.

Cons

I personally don't have any cons at the moment. I just grateful.
