Top Notch Culture - Workplace Of The Future

Pros

The HOTH has built an outstanding culture that is truly forward thinking. The culture here is built on recognition & being apart of a team. Have you ever felt under appreciated for things you worked hard on? Unfortunately, a lot of workplace cultures make you feel this way - but not at The HOTH. People go out of their way to make sure your contributions, your efforts are noticed and respected. When you put in the effort, you'll get recognized. It's fascinating how quickly that positivity permeates your way of thinking. Everything goes from just doing it because it's "work", to going above & beyond because you have a passion for getting things done. The office itself is a wonderful place to work. It is dog friendly, casual attire, and relaxed. You can come in and be as social or as focused as you want. The kitchen is always stocked with snacks, and there are excellent coffee shops around the area you can visit. Need to talk a walk? no shame in taking a break to stretch your legs. Need help on projects or work? send someone a message and talk it over! No stuffy corporate hierarchies or egos. The work is really exciting at The HOTH. The company is rapidly growing, and the integrity and quality of the product is second to none. This company does not take short cuts, it does things the right way, builds relationships with clients, and is insanely smart & gifted about marketing strategy and how to find success in marketing. You will 100% have opportunities to be hands on with client success. The work will challenge you, educate you, make you think about new questions, and inspire you to want to dive deeper into the field. It's no wonder The HOTH puts together one of the best products in all of search engine marketing. The company puts employees first, and because of a quality culture employees feel empowered to do good work and stay at the company for a long time. You also learn a lot about the subjects at hand. Really smart people started this company. That knowledge has been passed down. In today's world it can feel impossible to find a workplace that isnt toxic, or prioritizes employee well being - but you are reading about one right now. Unequivocally the best decision I have made in my career: working here. Junior, mid, or senior level - just do it. Apply.

Cons

It'd be a stretch to think of cons

Pros

- great company culture - everyone wants to help everyone else, so it's a very supportive environment - leadership listens to their subordinates and are very receptive to feedback, seeking out ways to improve things all the time - coworkers want to work and are eager to be there - nice benefits: health insurance, vision insurance, 401k matching, free lunches, free parking pass for a safe garage in downtown St. Pete - you can bring your dog to the office - remote work possible (at the moment, may change in the near future) - very big on taking PTO, taking care of yourself

Cons

- base pay is unfair and too low for the tasks required to do the job - they don't offer raises for people who have been there for a while, even after consistently getting positive feedback - commissions have changed so you now have to share them with people who had nothing to do with the contract sale or upgrade - role requirements change regularly (more and more work is required) but the base has not increased with it - it's hard to have a healthy work-life balance, this isn't a job where you can go home when the workday is over and then start over fresh the next day because you're managing the same clients month after month - too many clients to manage, so everyone is consistently late at getting things done and that's a common understanding and expecatation. There should be fewer clients per campaign manager so we can focus on them more attentively
