Pros

You learn more about being a better digital marketing professional and professional in general every day. Management does a very good job of identifying skills and areas for growth in employees and working to develop both those areas. New ideas are constantly being tested and new processes are developed to make sure the product is the best it can be for clients. Co-workers work extremely well together and form strong working relationships and friendships. Open concept office is perfect for the amount of collaboration that goes on. Pushes the envelope in the digital/social media marketing world.

Cons

The fast pace of a digital marketing agency isn't for everyone. If you are uncomfortable with dealing with high-pressure situations/having tough conversations with people, this wouldn't be a good environment. Job can definitely be stressful.

Drive Social Media - Review

Pros

- Relaxed work environment. - Management does not micromanage projects, gives employees freedom to do their job. - Hard workers will occasionally get rewarded. Management does notice when employees go above and beyond.

Cons

- High amount of turnover. The company is focused solely on client retention, at times not taking into account their employees’ hard work. - Lack of communication between management and employees, and at times teams and their team leaders. - Pay for amount of work/time put in. A reasonable amount of (unpaid) overtime is expected, but some employees are working 60+ hours a week, regularly. - Lack of training. Employees are “trained” for a day or two, and then thrown in to the mix to sink or swim. A lot of people have to figure things out for themselves as they go, rather than being trained to do their job correctly to begin with. - Lack of vacation time. Employees become noticeably burned out. - Management plays favorites.

Pros

We've got a great team full of fun loving motivated people. We're always moving forward on to the next great technology and we have ping pong and beer on tap. We also do a number of fun activities each year like baseball games, Special Olympics volunteers, or even trips.

Cons

Open office floorplan means it can get loud, if you're a person who needs quiet time to work you'll want to invest in headphones.
