Pros

Rivers is a great place to work with a large variety of clients and projects. Importance is placed on learning, producing high-quality creative work and collaborating with teams. With a focus on education, Rivers pays for each employee to go to conferences all expenses paid - plane, hotel, food. We are challenged to learn and focus on our personal passions through our work. There are a lot of other great benefits offered including competitive pay, healthcare, retirement contributions, bonuses, free Friday lunches and more.

Cons

The work can be fast-paced, as it is an ad agency, but the hours still remain very reasonable with people rarely having to work during off hours.

Rivers Agency Response

Absolutely! We 100% want to see each and every team member do their personal best and learn as much as they can. We love for our team to learn and grow. We work with each individual to set goals, we peer program, we do peer art and code reviews, and we focus on individual advancement. We like to say, if you are continually setting goals and reaching those goals you are in the right place professionally. Sometimes feedback comes from winning awards and sometimes the best feedback is when a client's e-commerce conversion rates go up 67% when we launch a new site. That means that the entire team made a lot of amazing decisions about everything from product database architecture to user experience. We want to keep our team on top of all of the most cutting edge technologies and best practices in the industry. This shows a clear commitment to our team and to our clients. Last week we had 2 teammates at the Magento conference in NYC and this week we have 1 teammate at a javascript class all week in NYC and in 2 weeks we have 6 teammates going to the InternetSummit. We send our team wherever we can to help them learn the most. Many thanks!! Glad you value learning and growth too! Lauren Rivers CEO

Pros

Incredible place to work. An amazing place to grow as a creative and learn from some of the most passionate, skilled advertisers and developers you could ever hope to meet. Strong, supportive spirit of collaboration.

Cons

They can be a very brutally honest with you, which is a good thing, so be prepared to have thick skin and not take feedback personally. The criticism is always in service of helping you grow and delivering work for the client.

Pros

With over 25 years of experience in the advertising and entertainment industries, I can say without exaggeration that working for a woman-owned advertising agency is a breath of fresh air. Rivers Agency is helmed by a woman who has the business acumen to celebrate over 30 years doing what she loves, while never losing sight of the welfare of her community and her employees. She has surrounded herself with a talented team of professionals who work passionately together to push the creative and technical envelope every day for their clients. I am proud to have been part of this team for nearly four years, and have been continually fulfilled by the diversity of our clients, the longevity of our relationships, and the inspiration I draw from my teammates. I hope to spend many more years here as a valued member of the team.

Cons

There are no negatives that come to mind. Having many years of experience, I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. The Rivers Agency is an exceptional place to work.
