Intern - Summer Intern Proof Advertising Employee Review

Proof is one of the best agencies I've worked at! They truly care about their employees, they are constantly looking to improve and make things better for the agency as a whole, they are transparent about their goals and initiatives and they reward employees for their hard work and dedication. Just to share some examples, we have wine down Wendesdays and monthly celebrations every month as a way to relax and socialize with your co-workers. We have agency bonding events, free snacks in the kitchen (at all times!), free soda and sparkling water, and amazing benefits!

Agency life consists of long hours and a lot of hard work but news flash this is corporate America and you have to work hard to get where you want. BUT the good thing about Proof is that they actually care about what you want so do you want something to change or improve? Bring it to senior management and I guarantee they will compromise with you to make you happy.

- Downtown location, free parking (except most park across the street in a parking garage) - They close the agency from Christmas - New Years Day, you don't have to take your own PTO. - Everyone works on Apple (Mac) laptops. - Free La Croix. - If you enjoy social events focused around alcohol, you will love it. (Mostly fresh out of college employees fit in well here)

- No work from home flexibility - They do give Christmas bonuses - Only 9 days of PTO your first year - United Healthcare for insurance (your out of pocket cost will essentially be the same as no insurance at all) - Subway is their largest account. The work is not inventive or exciting. - Everything is focused on alcohol - maybe pay less on monthly wine down Wednesdays and give Christmas bonuses to your employees? - The CEO could care less to get to know you, let alone even know your name. - There is no work-life-balance. - Office hours are 9:00 - 5:30 p.m., you're punished for having a life outside of work and needing to leave at 5:30.
