Pros

Incredible team, very cool offices, fair compensation, room for upward mobility. Drive is a great place to work if you are prepared to work hard and expect a lot out of your career. You will receive lots of great experience and guidance from all members of leadership, and the CEO will take persona stake in your individual professional success. I worked directly with AE Liam Waddy, who was professional and courteous and took time to help me develop. I worked directly with Director of Strategy Stephen Nations, who cared more about this company and his employees than anyone I've ever worked with, and I learned a lot from Owner Josh Sample, who is the most passionate and hard-working business owner I've ever met. Everyone on my team stood out as hard-working experts and I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished together during my short time with Drive. You may have to work long hours sometimes and you will absolutely have to push yourself and expect more out of yourself than you have at any job you've had before Drive, but if you believe in your abilities and you are willing to work hard to advance your career, you will have the ability to master your craft and you will get promoted at Drive. They recognize talent, hard work, and good attitudes. If you care about advancing your career, Drive will care about helping you do so.

Cons

If you're not willing to work hard, you won't like it. Not every job is super easy with low expectations and Drive is not one of those jobs either. There's nothing wrong with taking a job that is easy, but if you work at Drive you won't find any of those jobs. If you want something easy so that you can phone it in, don't work here.

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.
