Pros

An extremely fast-paced working environment with very talented individuals. Stay on-top of your work, communicate with your team & follow the process, and you won't have an issue. My team has had an extreme growth rate in the past year, and we've hit our quarterly retention goals at over 90% for the past 3 quarters. That was also done without working overtime! I also love how Drive is very in-tune with educating it's employees and keeping us in the loop with all the marketing trends in the world. I love getting use ChatGPT and seeing all the capabilities it can do for us. That has been a game changer! Working here is also cool AF. I love going to workshop week each year where everyone at the company can collaborate and learn from each other. I also enjoy the transparency shown during this week from Josh Sample. He goes through each departments successes and failures, position growth opportunities & promotions, and his goals for the following year. Also, can't forget the amazing guest speakers! Like Erika Nardini from Barstool spots or Gary Robertson, the Sargeant & Hostage Negotiator. I can't wait to see who shows up at the 2024 workshop week!

Cons

Some employees are overworked/been without an AE or AM for a few months. I feel like it's brought down the energy in the STL office.

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.
