Pros

Great for recent college grads hoping to hold onto their heyday. Relaxed work environment and good work-life balance. Good for entry-level promotions professional.

Cons

You'll have work (and a job) if mgmt can maintain clients. Typical for agencies. Role mostly manages college student brand reps and light reporting. Micromanagement and lack of transparency were sometimes an issue.

Youth Marketing Connection Response
8y
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience working for Youth Marketing Connection in Peabody, MA. We did want to note that you were actually an employee of StudentCity.com, and Youth Marketing Connection was a trade name. Since then, we've actually taken the company private, moved the office to Boston, and have changed substantially in the past 8 years. We're sorry that you didn't love your experience and felt like it was only worthy of 2 stars on Glassdoor. Without knowing your specific issues with StudentCity.com management, but we can say that being part of a publicly traded company does mean a certain lack of transparency is necessary and required. We are certainly happy that you enjoyed the relaxed work environment and work-life balance.

Pros

Supportive Team Culture: One of the biggest highlights was the incredibly supportive, collaborative, and welcoming team. I felt valued, encouraged, and trusted throughout the internship. Hands-On Experience: I was given meaningful tasks and responsibilities, especially on accounts like Maybelline and Cécred, which made me feel like a real contributor—not just an intern. Exposure to Variety: The fast-paced agency environment meant every day felt different. Working across multiple brand accounts kept things fresh and exciting. Opportunities for Initiative: I appreciated the ability to express interest in specific projects. My manager, Lexi, always encouraged me to explore what I was curious about, which led to deeper learning and more tailored experiences. Confidence-Building: Presenting, interviewing, and taking ownership of projects significantly boosted my confidence and professional growth.

Cons

Not-Quite-Cons (aka Learning Opportunities): I didn’t get to sit in on many client calls due to scheduling, but even without that, I gained a strong understanding of how YMC manages client relationships through internal discussions, prep work, and campaign execution. And honestly, the biggest con is that I don’t want it to end. I truly wish I could stay on with this team and this incredible company forever. I’ve learned so much, felt deeply supported, and had the most amazing, fulfilling experience.
