Pros

You get to work with some big name clients, non-management coworkers are friendly and caring and there's room for advancement since the company is small.

Cons

If you notice that some of the five star reviews read very similar, it's probably because they were written by management or an employee told to write it by them. The company owner and 2nd in command even gave the company a 5 star review on facebook to raise the review score. Management is too concerned with the outward appearance of the company and it's hurting the company culture. Successes are never done by one employee, they're only used to make the owner look good. The company owner takes business too personally and has a huge problem with micromanaging. She often says things that are not true or blown out of proportion to make herself or the company look good. What's worse is that she's passed her poor management skills onto her 2nd in command who talks down to everyone and is just plain mean. There are little to no benefits with this job and the wages are low for the area and the industry. Turnover is higher here than at other agencies because management has the attitude that employees are replaceable. Employees complain that the job is so stressful that it makes them sick/cry alot and many of them feel guilty for going home at the normal time. There's alot of talk about the open door policy and how they only hire/work with nice people, but that's really part of the outward appearance and isnt followed through on during the work day.

Pros

Easy interview, seemed like a great opportunity

Cons

I interviewed for this position back in November, and thought it went very well. Was supposed to hear back a while ago, I've sent emails and still nothing. It seemed like a great opportunity, and I'd much rather get a denial email then get ghosted by a company I really wanted to be apart of.
