Pros

the people you work with seem cool being able to work with multiple brands - good for resume experience work from home

Cons

absolutely zero transparency on how business is people are let go in secret, with no warning or valid explanation - coworkers also never respond after, almost as if they are told not too leadership plays favorites & allows toxic brands to sign on absolutely no accountability for employees being overworked due to overdelivering of the business contract reviews are a joke & "growth" is never taken seriously managers are overloaded & can not manage anyone under themselves or take this as a priority

Pros

I've been at 829 for several years and have had the opportunity to grow alongside the company. One of the things I appreciate most is the people. The team is incredibly smart, supportive, and always willing to jump in and help. There are a lot of genuinely good people here who care about doing great work and helping each other succeed. I've had the chance to work with clients across a wide variety of industries, take on new challenges, and continue growing my career as the company has grown. Like any agency, it's fast-paced and there are times when priorities shift quickly. The company has grown significantly over the years, which means processes continue to evolve and teams are constantly adapting. That can be challenging at times, but it also creates opportunities to have a real impact on how things are done. The leadership team is approachable, open to feedback, and invested in developing people. I've personally benefited from mentorship, growth opportunities, and the trust to take on bigger responsibilities throughout my time.

Cons

-Agency life can be busy and fast-moving - Priorities can shift as the business grows - Growth sometimes outpaces process, requiring teams to be adaptable
