Pros

Great people to work with, nice office, good events with the team. I've joined the team as a trainee and it was one of the best moments for me to grow and learn. The pace is fast, in a way that if you're a "hands on craft", you will have fun. The marketing is quite organized with briefs, making the work flow nicely. The office is also very diverse, people from everywhere, and all different backgrounds made me feel comfortable. Dog friendly office, made my heart melt every other week.

Cons

Only thing I missed sometimes was the feedback about some campaigns. We know not 100% of campaigns succeed so well, so, for my own improvement and to understand the client's journey, I would like to have known more about what to do or not to do.

Pros

Clients and events are perfect for young grads. Young employees who can be fun to work with. Perks are free food, drinks, and clients who are fun to work with.

Cons

Very low pay, virtually no PTO, no real benefits, no compensation for gas even though you will be driving all over San Diego, and no job security - I've never heard of another company this size with such a high turnover rate. William can be your bff one day then turn on you the next if don't agree with him - eye-rolling in meetings, dirty looks, rude remarks. One of my coworkers once told me she regularly had to apologize for things she didn't do/had no fault in just to stay on his good side. Once you tick him off, be prepared because he will make it his mission to find something wrong in everything you do. Then he will fire you. Literally every single person I worked with had some degree of anxiety over losing their job because of how often he fires people. Because of this, people will have no problem throwing you under the bus if it means staying in his good graces. He clearly asked for all of the good reviews on this page. RUN AWAY.
