Pros

Sometimes there are free products to take home

Cons

- They do not appreciate staff, they act as if you are lucky to work there, when in fact it's not a great agency at all - Employees are overworked and are given a huge workload and unrealistic deadlines - They have no idea how to lead or manage a team. I was told once, by the owner, if I made one more mistake she would dock my pay - They do not set the team up for success, it's really understaffed - The manager of the Toronto office at the time was a bully. She made employees cry regularly. I believe she has now left and management has got better, but it was a reflection of the owner, that she would employ someone like this and take their word verbatim. - they take resignations really badly, not happy for employees growth in any way - they tend to focus more on things like office decor than their staff - They pay really badly, and you have to fight for the smallest raise - I would only take a job here if you are desperate, it's not worth it in my opinion

Pros

Great experience working with a variety of clients, big and small.

Cons

Management is focused on surface-level vanity initiatives that glorify the company but have no understanding of the fundamentals of running an agency or keeping employees happy. The small team is overworked causing burnout and a major lack of work-life balance. There is truly no incentive or culture to balance this out leaving an overall sense of resentment. It becomes challenging to please clients and stay current with best practices as a result of being severely understaffed. The sense of urgency to hire after large turnover is absent, leaving current employees responsible for picking up the pieces and ensure client satisfaction. Micromanagement is common as there is very little trust for managers. Small issues escalate to the director/ceo level. With very little knowledge on what’s going on, recommendations and feedback from these individuals are misinformed simply adding unnecessary time to the minimal time allotted to projects. Unfortunately, it's a very difficult place to work. If you want to be a part of "hustle culture" while being underpaid, this is the place for you. If you want to keep your mental sanity, stay away.
