Pros
Pros of working at SmarkLabs:
As I am an aspiring/growing leader, the CEO coached me as I grew my team, which was very valuable experience. CEO has great industry experience and provides guidance, support, and collaboration to ensure your success.
A consistent value of being a student of the industry. Since marketing trends and tactics evolve everyday, it is welcomed and encouraged to learn all things marketing. Resources are provided or suggested to help you along the way where applicable.
Working with varied clients. They look to you as their advisor, and you get to form strong relationships with them and bring your ideas to the table to help them reach their goals.
Having a collaborative team. You get to work with creative, driven teammates who are flexible and always willing to help.
Work/life balance. I felt that the workload was manageable given the client load and responsibilities for this role.
Overall, you have the opportunity to be innovative, share your ideas where they'll be well received, and grow as part of the team in a healthy work environment.
Cons
Since the team is small, it's a fast paced environment. Having clear communication skills and strong organization skills are key.
