Pros

• Lax work environment as long as you got your work finished on deadline • Good health and dental benefits, and vacation time • Generally kind and supportive employees • Environment allowed open communication about internal issues without much fear of retaliation by management • Freedom take on new responsibilities outside of specified role if desired • Little to no micromanagement - employees were trusted to complete projects on deadline with little interference throughout process • Room and encouragement to learn new skills while on the job

Cons

• Frequently felt like a highly disorganized workplace • A good number of employees were knowingly underpaid by management • No reimbursement for mileage on occasions that required travel • Negative environment for women - management didn't understand women, made sexist comments toward them • Lots of cutting corners to save money • One of the partners is known to have swift mood swings that can lead to hostile interactions with employees and clients • High employee turnover

Pros

Leadership prioritizes personal and professional growth. The teams are passionate, artistic, and determined. High Five helps so many businesses and produces great work, it feels good to be apart of such a cool team.

Cons

This is minor, but some people are salary, others are hourly. We have time off but keeping track of hours each pay period to be sure we get to 80 while still trying to juggle other life tasks (picking up kids from school, dentist, etc.) can get tedious and confusing. Besides that I really have no complaints.

Pros

I was highly impressed with leadership and how they treated me. You may read on here that they are toxic, but that wasn't my experience. I have always been respected. I also had many opportunities to learn lots of new aspects of the job and even pioneer within my own department. Also, the coworkers are truly quality folks. I felt supported on multiple fronts.

Cons

There are cons, but none that should discourage you from being excited to work here or apply! This is a marketing/ad agency so it can get busy. There will be lots of clients and some days are more stressful than others. You can create something and then it gets knocked down later from a client. Rejection and stress are part of this field, so you should understand this if you are interested in working this kind of job. I got paid the average salary and got good benefits. If you are looking for wild tea, I don't have any.
