Pros

The people - you never feel like a problem is yours alone to carry. You are part of a team that will do whatever it takes to accomplish client goals, and when the goals are met it’s a team win. The opportunities - Advancement personally and professionally are a huge reason as to why I began at drive. I openly communicated that from my beginning and drive gave me the tools to get where I wanted to be. The Capabilities - Drive is at the forefront of today’s digital marketing capabilities. It’s exciting to see how things are changing and developing in the digital space every single day.

Cons

The training wasn’t all set up when I started, but has gotten more streamlined since. There’s a bit of a learning curve here. As the digital marketing space changes, especially right now politically, it’s tough to make decisions on the fly. You’ll have to be comfortable with an incredibly fast paced environment to thrive here.... but that is the nature of digital marketing. If you have trouble owning up to your mistakes you’ll have difficulty at drive. If you do make a mistake (and you will) come to superiors with solutions and a plan. Be willing to take on more work if you want more responsibility.

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.
