Pros

To be totally honest, I felt like I did not have all the skills needed for my position when I walked through the door. I was nervous that I was not going to be able to perform up to par. But, then I quickly realized what Sandbox is and the career they offer. If you want to learn a new skill? Sandbox is there for you - Interested in other areas within the company? Sandbox welcomes curiousity - Want to build a Lego version of the Sandbox's logo? - YES! Surprisingly that one turned out! If you are interested in working hard and growing as a professional - Sandbox is for you.

Cons

If you asked 6 months ago... I would have said that the company was disorganized and the direction was lost. But, these traits have recently been addressed. As we pick up our bootstraps and figure out what Sandbox is together, the future looks to be much brighter.

​Sandbox is a company like no other and we are not denying we are continuing to figure it out. It is important to us that our employees feel that they are a part of the growth and you are correct, the sky is the limit for our future together. And yes, we value our history and individual location magic.

Pros

Benefits are ok. Some of the existing staff seems to care about employees from new acquisitions.

Cons

Chicago is the HQ. They have already cemented themselves into any positions of importance and spread the workload amongst the existings offices. Don't get caught thinking there will be a place for you if you work hard and integrate, just like they ask. Instead, artificial smooth talkers will take any meaningful positions, while those who know what they are doing have either left already or will be laid off in the next round of cuts. And yes, there will be cuts. That is the business model they have chosen, just keep replacing people who aren't in Chicago. Buy up a new company for their clients and cut the staff. Today, half of the Orange County office was let go. Don't expect any kind of reasonable severance either. You will need a new job lined up immediately. My advice: If you are the next company purchased by Sandbox Agency..get out. Get Out Now!

While many of our senior leaders do sit in our Chicago office we recognize we have leaders in every office no matter what someone’s title is. While we need to make difficult business decisions that affect our employees our leaders, with the title or not, support those individuals in any way that we are able.
