Lack leaders, no work/life balance

Pros

A great place to work in the beginning. Both the Founder and Co-Founder are amazing! They really care about you and are true leaders.

Cons

Good Apple lacks capable leaders. Seems to be luck of the draw with some teams having terrific leaders and other teams having leaders chosen or promoted for no good reason. HR seems incapable of making an impact even though they recognize the problems. Some managers are incredibly incapable and clueless. HR is totally oblivious to them and allows abuse of employees by these managers. For example, the CFO speak to most and especially her subordinate in a condescending tone and it's not right. The older veterans of the company act like they own the company, some of them come to work whenever they want. For some people, there's no room for advancement and you could be there for years without even getting a raise. At the end, there's really no work and life balance, because there is too much work to be done and not enough people to do it so you end up skipping your break and staying late for no thanks or recognition.

Pros

Small Company. Fun co-workers when not working, which never happens...

Cons

Poor management. Zero leadership. Young organization that cannot compete with the big dogs in the same industry. Employees suffer from minimal support and long work hours for exteremely low pay.

A Rare Gem Among NYC Digital Agencies

Pros

Chance to work with interesting brands and awesome people (client contacts, vendors, publishers, and co-workers alike). Unlike other agencies where I've worked, Good Apple employees really work together and support each other; there is no sense of aggressive competition between co-workers. Also, it is easy to achieve a positive work/life balance, which is difficult elsewhere in the digital advertising and marketing industry. Salary, benefits, and perks are competitive and fair. The energy and environment at Good Apple is creative, innovative, and fun.

Cons

No significant cons come to mind. As with any growing agency, there are some organizational and structural items to be sorted out; however this does not have a negative impact on the overall experience of working at Good Apple.
