Pros
As a freelancer, I've worked within and for lots of different marketing and PR agencies. I'm aware of what agencies can typically be like. Often very toxic, demanding environments for terrible pay. I've said 'never again!' to working with agencies before. But I couldn't say no to these ladies. Just professional and systematic enough that payment, invoicing and contracts happen with ease, but still personal enough to be able to say your real feelings around and have fun with. A rare gem. We worked on a very big client together, and I felt supported at all times. If I had a personal matter, Dawn completely understood. Amy and Karen were also very welcoming to me and I will miss working with them. I feel like I was pushed to do work at a great quality, and was never blamed or attacked if I made a mistake wrong. I've learned a lot about myself, my work and professionalism, friendliness, standards from working with Media Matters and will take that forward with me in my career! Most of all - they pay well and on time. Very happy.
Cons
Honestly, the hardest thing about working here has been working with Microsoft products when I'm used to Google!
