      High Hopes, Major Letdown - Anonymous employee Hodes Employee Review

      Pros

      - Flexible work schedules. - Supportive colleagues. - Frequent travel.

      Cons

      - Lack of understanding of client dynamics from leadership. - Grave understaffing for some of the largest clients. - Constant pacification from leadership rather than conflict resolution. - Deliberate uneven assignment of work. If you are a strong employee, get ready for long nights and early mornings while its acceptable for others to not pull their weight. - Nepotism. Plain and simple. If you get into a certain "crowd" you have growth opportunity. If not, then you are the reason something went awry or a launching pad for someone else. - HUGE disconnect between leadership and front lines. Few decision makers actually know how their choices impact clients. - Career Manager Program doesn't provide practical career growth advice within the company. - "If you want a raise or promotion, leave and then come back" is a common quote. - Ive been in digital marketing for many years and never "clocked out" as frustrated as I did most nights at Hodes.

      Pros

      First, I'd like to address some of the other reviews. I've worked here for more than 10 years and have NEVER been asked by Marketing to write a review. I'm only writing this because some of the other reviews are so inaccurate. Hodes is a great place to work if you are competent, self-motivated, and committed to doing great work for clients. There is a lot of opportunity to grow your career and take on responsibility if you prove that you are capable. One of the things I love the most about Hodes is that my colleagues and I really care about doing the right thing for our clients. We are always learning and applying that knowledge to our client engagements. It feels good to go home at the end of the day, knowing you did your best for your clients, and not just thinking about the bottom-line. We also have a lot of flexibility, if you are a trusted employee. It can be a great place to work if you have a family.

      Cons

      I think one of the cons might be that Hodes is too loyal to some of its employees, as some people are kept on staff when it would be better to find someone new. I think change can come a little slower here.
