Pros

Extremely talented people who truly care about the work they put out. Competitive salary

Cons

Long hours and extremely heavy workloads with little to no support from management which leads to burnout across departments. Having too many accounts to be strategic on the CS team, yet the pressure of keeping and growing accounts persists. Roadmap docs hold greater importance than the actual work being done internally, but externally, clients don’t care about the roadmaps. Little room to grow into management after gaining senior positions in your role.

Pros

Ever wanted to write 10 meta descriptions at 7pm? Dreams do come true! Clients are demanding and so is leadership team, they have a goal of big growth every year for us and they let us know every day we have to push for more. And if a client needs something last minute.... well we gotta do it. But we do learn more and grow faster than other agencies I've worked at. You’ll become very efficient. Like, Olympic-level fast at writing alt text, title tags, and explaining why Google hasn’t indexed a page yet.

Cons

Content production is a grind. You’ll be writing strategy decks one minute and fixing broken URLs the next. No clear division between strategic and executional SEO.

Pros

Being a digital marketing agency focused on healthcare marketing allows Cardinal to be a true strategic business partner. A consultative approach gives them the opportunity to develop custom strategies that allow for innovation as recently proven with the launch of RevRx. Really great people that are passionate about the work and are fueled with the impact they make and the amount of people they connect with healthcare. Cardinal practices inclusivity with a mix of onshore and offshore teams so all meetings, events, comms take place, so everyone is involved. This is a place where collaboration is encouraged, and self-starters can be part of developing their own path.

Cons

At times the timelines for deliverables can be demanding and management provides support to ensure teams maintain a healthy work-life balance. Providing resources early in the client on boarding process as opposed to playing catchup; this is a common balancing act for a busy digital marketing agency and part of the growing pains.
