Pros
I had the opportunity to work with a team that has a wealth of experience, with many members coming from reputable agencies like Golin. This expertise translates into high-quality work for several strong clients, and it was inspiring to collaborate on such meaningful projects. The flexible work hours are a definite plus, allowing for a better work-life balance. The office is centrally located, which makes commuting easier, and the pantry is regularly stocked with nice treats from clients.
Cons
However, the team dynamics can be challenging. There are a few individuals who seem to thrive on gossip and exclusion, which can create a toxic atmosphere. Despite the small size of the team, management has not taken significant steps to address these issues. The workload can be heavy at times, but it's manageable if you stay organized. Mentorship is lacking; you need to be self-sufficient and familiar with your work to succeed. While the corporate team is generally effective and drama-free, the lifestyle team operates more like a separate island, often feeling isolated and not working collaboratively. Overall, while there are strong points, the workplace culture could use improvement.
