Learn from the best & at the enterprise level

Pros

I started my career in digital marketing at FKQ and I can’t imagine I’d be able to learn as much as I did somewhere else. The leadership are some of the smartest people and if you are committed to learning, you can learn so much from them. I had the opportunity to work with enterprise brands and media platforms that I wouldn’t have had exposure to otherwise, and because FKQ is a full-service 360 agency, you also get exposure to all other areas as part of large client teams in integrated marketing. The team is also fun to work with and there’s always company events and a good culture. It’s a creative and media agency, so expect fun! Benefits are on par with other agencies for 401k and PTO, and with seniority those benefits get better too. Salaries are also competitive and if you’re a high performer they will always recognize you for that.

Cons

Yes it’s an agency, so it comes with some occasional extra time and being client facing. But trust me, that pays off ten fold for what you learn.

Burning out and need a raise

Pros

Some great, talented & supportive people. Usually busy so the days pass quickly. Remote work allowed during COVID

Cons

Really low salary and inability to advance for some positions. Can’t remember when we last had reviews—so if your salary is low you’re just stuck. COVID isn’t taken seriously enough. If all precautions are voluntary, people will keep getting sick. Pressuring remote people to come in for big meetings but not protecting them is—really not good. People are getting burned out with the workload and some depts hire more people while others drown.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased you share our pride in the talented and amazing team we have at FKQ. We take all feedback seriously and the Executive Committee reviews and discusses it all in detail. We appreciate your acknowledgement in our flexibility around remote work. We will continue to work with each FKQ’er individually, along with their department head, to create a positive structure for everyone. Since the pandemic began, we have thoughtfully and carefully considered a multitude of business decisions with the personal and professional well-being of our team as a priority. Unlike many other agencies, we did not institute mass layoffs. Instead we took measured steps to preserve our team, even with significant changes to our billings at the onset of the pandemic. And since then, as workloads returned to pre-pandemic levels, we’ve worked hard in every department to quickly address changing needs and invest in more resources. Career advancement, competitive compensation and regular feedback on performance have always been a priority for FKQ. We’d value the opportunity to discuss your personal situation. Enthusiasm to safely and appropriately host Clients and associates at FKQ should not be confused with pressure. We closely follow local, state and CDC guidelines for in-office protocols. Thank you again for your feedback. We have many avenues for feedback including contacting your direct Supervisor, our office manager or any member of management. We hope you will contact a member of the Executive team by phone or via feedback@fkq.com so we can better understand and work to improve upon the feedback you shared here.
