      Pros

      Awesome work culture. People are really dedicated to growth internally and for the clients that are serviced. A lot of consistent internal restructuring to make the company more efficient. Also, new training initiatives are being put in place and career growth is a topic leadership cares about. Wins are celebrated as a team and losses are discussed candidly.

      Cons

      High growth also means employees are pushed to the limit. Things are fast-paced and expectations are high. The high growth environment is not for everyone.

      Do NOT work here. The CEO defines the culture, and he's a total sociopath.

      Pros

      Remote, high paying for new hires with few years of experience.

      Cons

      An agency that is hiring aggressively but hasn't grown in years is one to stay away from- it means they interview poorly, care nothing for their employees, and fire people at the drop of a hat. Opinions and innovations are not welcome here- you will be fired for speaking your mind and trying to improve things. The CEO micromanages everything, has zero empathy, and controls employees with fear. He's only interested in fulfilling his own ego, and has no idea how to run an agency. There are good people here, but none of them will last. Good digital marketers are in demand. Don't compromise yourself and your career by taking a job with Directive.

      It's not easy to read this review, but thank you for your feedback and I'd like to add some context: 1. We try to pay very well and have a great team of amazing people who love to work here. 2. We are growing very rapidly. We just had our best month in the history of the company this December and January is already on pace to exceed it. 3. We have an amazing management team here who proudly uses their voice to make my life and the lives around me better everyday. 4. We take our culture and values exceptionally seriously. The amazing men and women that choose Directive every day give me comfort and joy that we are going in the right direction and building something special. I wish you nothing but the best and I hope that you find what you are looking for in your next endeavor. - Garrett

      Pros

      -Autonomy to execute your role with support for constructive feedback -Ownership/No micro-management -Benefits -Fun and intelligent team -Executive team leads with strategy, intelligence, confidence and an open mind -Growth opportunities -Encouragement

      Cons

      *No, I was in no way asked to leave a review. I can't think of any cons honestly. In a quick-growth organization, there are always changes and you need to be able to pivot quickly and enjoy the hustle of the agency pace.
