Pros

As stated in the headline, Drive is what you make it. If you approach each day with a negative attitude or have no ambition to do MORE, then you might not get a lot out of your time at Drive. Conversely, if you are one who takes your life and your future by the horns, then you really won't find a better place to work in St. Louis. At Drive you can have whatever you want as long as you're not afraid to stand out and are willing to work for it. Amazing, talented group of co-workers - you'll find a new extended family. Extra effort rewarded handsomely. Unlimited upward mobility. Your day-to-day work actually brings clients money, and the ever-evolving strategy/program handed down to you is lightyears ahead of the competition.

Cons

Drive expects a LOT out of its employees (not a con). You will be challenged, every single day, and this is seen as difficult by some people, but you WILL become a better all-around employee. Very fast-paced environment and if you can't keep up you can drown pretty quickly (but the support is there).

Pros

Great team culture with constant peer support, making the role low-stress and collaborative. Hitting goals feels rewarding, especially when it leads to client satisfaction and bonus opportunities. Plus, the flexible work-from-home setup, strong leadership, and overall positive environment make it an enjoyable place to work.

Cons

Heavy workload at times, which can feel fast-paced, but it keeps the day moving and makes the work more engaging. Like many marketing roles, priorities can shift quickly, so staying organized and adaptable is important.

Pros

Local team was awesome and supportive. Only thing that kept me there for longer than 2 weeks.

Cons

Corporate leadership created a culture of constant micromanagement. Employees were regularly called “lazy” during company-wide meetings and singled out in front of everyone. No matter how well you performed or how far above quota you were, there was always another metric to criticize. Work-life balance was practically nonexistent. 60-hour work weeks were not uncommon nor was being expected to work Saturdays. It wasn’t uncommon to receive texts on weekends criticizing activity metrics or demanding more. It felt like you were expected to be available seven days a week. The role was also far more stressful than advertised. Corporate leadership repeatedly described it as a “low-stress sales job,” but the short sales cycle and constant pressure made it anything but. Metrics are set extremely high and even when you do hit them they will ask you why you aren’t doing more. Employee turnover was extremely high, and despite calling itself a marketing agency, the company felt much more like a sales organization where hitting activity metrics and bringing in new clients took priority over everything else. If you don’t mind an extremely high-pressure, micromanaged sales environment, this may be a fit. If you value work-life balance, autonomy, and leadership that trusts high performers, I would look elsewhere.
