Pros

You will learn literally everything there is to know about digital marketing. On top of that Madwire believes in overpaying its talent. If those two things weren't great enough, they've handled the COVID crisis like nobody else has and the culture is phenomenal. You may see some reviews of bad apples that are sour because they've gone rotten, but those people usually just don't have the drive to compete here or at any other agency. Our CEO also took a firm stand on increasing diversity and even created a diversity committee lead by the employees of the company. Madwire is a unique experience because it's a family owned company that's as large as some private corporations. I know all of the family members quite well and there's no feeling of entitlement or arrogance surrounding any of them. I do plan to start my own business some day, but until then or even after then, I will be with Madwire.

Cons

This is a pro that feels like a con, but it must be addressed. Madwire changes often. Some of these changes happen quickly and can feel uncomfortable, although usually 3 months after the uncomfortability, you can clearly see why a change was made and why it is beneficial to the team. For example we switched phone providers and systems in January and it was a clunky transition at first. If we had not made this change however, we would have not been able to have people working from home during the pandemic without using their personal lines. That's just one example, but it paints a clear enough picture.

Pros

Cutting-Edge Tech: The company is genuinely dedicated to staying on the frontier of technology, ensuring you are always working with the best tools and forward-thinking tech. Amazing Work Culture: The environment is incredibly supportive and collaborative—it's a place where you actually enjoy showing up every day. Uncapped Commission: The earning potential is exactly what salespeople look for. Hard work is directly rewarded with an uncapped commission structure. Fulfilling Work: The projects and day-to-day tasks helping small businesses grow feel meaningful, making it easy to stay motivated and proud of what you do.

Cons

Commission Ramp-Up Time: It takes a little bit of time for commissions to start building up initially, so you need to be prepared for a ramp-up period when you first start. Account Distribution Pace: Although Management tries its best to accommodate your needs, you can't control the pace at which you receive new accounts, which means your pipeline can sometimes feel out of your hands.

Pros

1. If you want to escape retail or foodservice, Madwire provides you an opportunity to work a traditional Monday-Friday 7-4 work schedule. They'll hire anyone who will gladly exchange retail hours for low compensation expectations. 2. It's a fun workplace until ... it isn't. 3. Congratulations on adopting AI into the organization as it helps cover / disguise the lack of marketing talent in the organization.

Cons

1. If a "quiet, non-spoken" RIF doesn't get you, a termination will. My guess is a MINIMUM of 85% of all former Madwire employees were terminated "with cause." 2. Madwire SaaS is a hodge-podge of other products and services packaged under the Marketing360 brand, nothing unique or earth shattering. 3. JB does a great job of marketing Madwire, unfortunately, this doesn't translate downstream. Marketing Executive turnover is non-stop revolving door so more than half our clients are being led by new hires in some stage of onboarding and/or training. 4. There was a recent increase in base from $35k to $60k. Much needed, however, an equal reduction in earned commissions mean there was no real effective pay increase. Shuffled comp is all it is. 5. MCs and MEs spend 10-20% of their time recovering unpaid invoices. In large part to unmet expectations, lack of results, broken promises. 6. Tough to sell a product you don't believe in, have experienced consistent failure client after client. 7. Client retention is horrific. 8.
