Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We’re happy to hear that you feel you have grown professionally in your time with SHIFT – Learning & Development is very important to us and we welcome feedback on how we can continue to make this a robust program for our employees. We understand the importance of compensation and because of that, we invest in industry salary reviews/surveys annually to ensure our compensation packages are competitive in the markets we operate. Benefits, from healthcare and 401K match, to vacation time, telecommuting and flex schedules (as you note with the work/life balance above) are all part of a total compensation package that we continually review to ensure we are competitive and equitable to our employees. If you have recommendations on where/how we can do better, please come talk to us – some of our best ideas have come from our employees!

Pros

I was hesitant to join another agency after a couple of “standard” agency experiences- chronically overservicing accounts, regularly working late, high manager turnover and a senior team that only paid lip service to staff challenges. But a recruiter insisted that SHIFT was different and I am so happy I joined the agency four years ago. SHIFT truly is different and cares about its people just as much as the clients we work with. Work-life balance? Check. Supportive colleagues? Check. A culture without politics? Check. Clients who treat us well? Check. Clear career progression? Check. Added to the caring culture, I am constantly wowed (but not surprised) by the smarts of my colleagues at all levels. My colleagues constantly bring high quality creative thinking, consultancy and results to our clients. SHIFTers are a wonderful combination of relentless and curious, plus other key traits. Overall, SHIFT is the agency that’s walking the talk and doing things right. Keep it up!

Cons

When I first joined, some of the benefits weren’t great, but since SHIFT has become a Padilla agency the benefits are so much better across the board.
