Infectious energy (the good kind) - Associate Creative Director Earnest Employee Review

I have genuinely loved my experience at Earnest so far. One of the biggest positives is that everything I was told during the interview process has turned out to be true, which made starting here feel really reassuring. The company is also very open to feedback, and I have felt supported from the beginning. It is easy to get answers to questions, and people are willing to help, which has made onboarding and learning the role much smoother.

The only area I can really point to for improvement is training. I would have liked a little more outbound training early on. That said, I know this team is still fairly new and actively building and improving the process, so it feels more like a growing pain than a major issue.

I’ve been with Earnest for over a year, and it has truly been one of the best work experiences I’ve had. The culture is incredibly collaborative, with mutual respect at every level. Even though we are a fully remote team, the company does an amazing job fostering connection and keeping our team spirit strong-I feel like I genuinely know my colleagues. Earnest provides excellent training and resources, making it easy to feel confident and supported in the role. Leadership is approachable and always receptive to feedback, continuously working to improve both operations and the product. The progress I’ve seen in just a year has been impressive. What I appreciate most is that it feels like working alongside a team rather than within a rigid chain of command. Everyone’s contributions are valued, and there’s a real sense of shared purpose. On top of that, Earnest genuinely respects work-life balance, encouraging us to do great work while also having time for ourselves outside of it. That balance makes it not just a great place to work, but a sustainable and rewarding one.

Since we’re a smaller team, growth opportunities may take a bit longer to come up since roles don’t open as frequently. That said, I haven’t been here long enough to fully gauge the long-term possibilities.
