Pros

There will be a lot of opportunities to learn as much about paid media as you want. There's a plethora of resources to tap into for outside learning, and leadership does a good job of setting people up to learn through client experiences as well. The agency has people with expertise in multiple areas (SEM, Paid Social, Programmatic, Apps, etc.), which opens up the door for company growth as digital strategy becomes higher priority for companies across the world.

Cons

Things get particularly busy during "ramps" (inevitable periods of increased workload through added clients and a growing list of requests), which can be stressful. But for those who are open with their managers and solution-oriented in working through these times, it's manageable.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
