      Building the Sandbox - Anonymous employee sandbox Employee Review

      Pros

      Ability to be involved in the creation of an agency. Exposure to many clients, types of work, teams in various cities and the agency is GROWING. Its a very exciting time to be involved in something as its being built. The agency empowers teams to proactively solve problems and implement solutions based on what our clients needs. The people here are A+ with immense talent and truly are wonderful to work with. Every sr. manager I've met truly wants to help their teams succeed.

      Cons

      Lots of change happens in any agency but especially is felt when we're building something new. Not everyone likes change and it's difficult for many team members sadly as not everyone sees change as a good thing - even though it is in this instance. Building a foundation takes time, but the organization still must move quickly. Finding the balance between quick decisions and longer-term implications is still challenging. Need to staff up quicker when we bring on new work. Communication is never-ending as a challenge (as w/ any company), but continue to share the good & bad ASAP.

      Thanks for your great comments! We have been working hard to create the feeling of ONE Sandbox and while change is never easy, we hope our employees see it as positive. We love employee input and will continue to build a great agency that is ready for whatever comes our way.

      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.
