Great people, great work, great agency - Anonymous employee Pivot Design Employee Review

I have worked at several agencies and Pivot truly sets the bar for talented colleagues. Across all departments, the caliber of the employees is top notch. And not only are they smart, they are kind, caring and collaborative. The Executive Leadership team is also truly dedicated to retaining said talent so there is a focus on competitive benefits, salary and fostering a sense of community and fun. Beyond that, the ELT not only listens, but acts. They solicit feedback and proactively implement that feedback to consistently improve the agency. We recently implemented new agency work flow protocols in direct response to employee feedback. In addition to a talented internal team, Pivot is focused on wellness oriented clients who HELP the world be a better place. If you work at Pivot, you can rest assured that the work you contribute to is important and meaningful. And let’s be honest, agency life can be hard and it is certainly not for everyone. Deadlines and pressure are unavoidable in this line of work. However, the overall work/life balance is VERY fair and if you need help, help will be provided. There is also a very fair mentality in regards to life requirements outside of work. If you need to drop your kid at school or go to the dentist, as long as your work is handled and you have alerted your team, it is not a problem whatsoever.

Agency life can be unpredictable. If you are not someone who thrives in a fast paced environment and can easily change gears, this is not the right fit.

Lovely, talented people. It feels amazing to come to work and be surrounded by a community that functions collaboratively and genuinely supports one another. People are highly skilled and perform with passion and the President has a killer attitude that's totally motivating and contagious. Next-level creative. Think you've solved a similar problem before? Or worked for a similar client? There's no falling back on cookie-cutter solutions here. Every project, every client, gets a fresh perspective and intensive ideation that pushes beyond the expected to deliver creative excellence. Culture is in focus. There's a continued momentum to create a harmonious work-life and a sense of family. Accomplishments and milestones (both personal and professional) are celebrated and time to learn and grow as a team is valued. In turn, people show up for one another. Whether it's running a marathon, performing in a play, or supporting a cause you believe in—it's common for members of your Pivot family to be there cheering you on.

Expectations are high. To 'over-deliver' is a bit of a mantra here so be prepared to put in the extra effort. Proactivity and responsiveness are critical.
