Pros
Since management makes all these post, which is not the case, this has been the talk of the office as everyone who has posted prior was notified of the negative post that claimed to be a current employee. As a result, I figured I would make a post after being here for a year and share my experience. Yes, the company does encourage all employees to post, but does not make it mandatory and they have ZERO input on what we post. When I was hired, I took on an account executive position. I was provided training over a 3 week period, with intensive training on 3 consecutive Saturdays. We are then provided with numerous online learning tools, plus we are allowed to purchase any learning material, attend seminars and take additional training anytime at the company’s expense. What I will say is if you are no motivated to learn and expect it to be forced down your throat, then that will not occur here and you will be disappointed. FocusMX has been great to work for. It is intense, because the owners do not care about hot air. They are extremely strict at making sure the product that leaves the door is not only what the client asked for, rather it is what they need and what they asked for. This standard is not an option, so I have seen people leave because of this. I felt the pressure at first also, because they don’t just talk about striving for perfection, they truly try to achieve it. When I joined the team, I had a lot to learn. The partners worked with me, even at times when I felt I was not a fit. When I was stressed, I had two partners giving me any time needed to help. At no time did anyone ever ignore my stress levels and frustrations. Rather they listened and helped me resolve the challenges. The work here is fun. You truly help companies grow. Many times I have seen companies double in size in just the one year I have been here. The owners have extremely successful mindsets. I get excited being in strategy meetings and seeing companies solve challenges and then get to watch them implemented and drive the expected result. Definitely a fun job and I am excited about the potential!
Cons
Don’t like going to the Philadelphia office due to distance.

Pros
A lot to learn If you are talented, you can pick things up pretty quickly
Cons
Hectic work environment Disrespected openly by owner Everything done at last second Little to no training for new employees..if you pick it up, you pick it up. Most of these positive reviews are written by management.
FocusMX Response
9yThank you for taking the time to write this review. Only partners hold the title of marketing strategist, so we assume this review is for a different position rather than what is posted. We take all feedback seriously and we address points made by employees in order to ensure we provide a positive experience, realizing that this is a never ending process and each individual has their own needs and expectations. That is why we encourage all of our employees to sit with a manager and discuss any issues, so they can be identified, understood and resolved.
Our organization strives to deliver results for clients and does not rest until we achieve those results. Deadlines may be tight and unpredictable based upon a client’s need and we understand that type of environment may not be the best fit for everyone. It is our focus to always be a very collaborative culture with involvement from all team members. We realize open reviews of project that cover progress of project, comments from client, hours into project, quality of work, deliverables etc. can be intense for some employees, which is why examples of such meetings are clearly provided to all interviewees. We have a very transparent process and we are a fast pace company. If you have not brought these issues to a manager, please do so ASAP, otherwise we cannot assure they will be corrected. Thank you again for your feedback and your time at FocusMX.
