Pros
John Thornton, owner and founder, was willing to take a chance and invest in me. I was fresh out of college with many ideas and information but I lacked experience. During my time at Black Propeller I was able to receive multiple certifications and attend training classes. I worked with clients in a variety of locations and industries. I learned to make a client successful in a various ad spend brackets. My time at Black Propeller was filled with opportunities to learn and grow. I definitely miss the flexibility and opportunity to try new things and grow in exciting ways.
Cons
Some of those opportunities to grow can be uncomfortable. There were times I didn't feel like I had the right answers or the knowledge to move forward in certain situations. The company was in the early stages of growth and development. There will always be growing pains as a company grows, finds their niche, and improves the services it offers. The work load was also a little much at times. The rapid growth we saw during my time meant that each of the staff members was overloaded.
