      Pros

      The fast paced work environment typical in the agency industry could not have been better for my career. It exposed me to tons of new practices based on the client's needs and ultimately provided me with more experience in currently relative technologies than most other professionals. The office environment is also very open and welcoming. The open concept encourages collaboration, but there are also a few private conference rooms if you need some isolation. Beyond that, downtown Chapel Hill is a beautiful place to work. With tons of boutique shops and restaurants there's no shortage of places to visit on your lunch break or enjoy time with your coworkers/friends after work.

      Cons

      As I mentioned in the pros it is an agency, and the fast pace can be intimidating but also exhilarating. There are times when development best practices need to be weighed against client satisfaction and deadlines. While attention to detail is an absolute necessity in this industry, time management and results are more important here than most corporations. Being thrown into the fire can be hot, but ultimately results in a stronger steel.

      Thank you very much for taking the time to give Rivers this feedback. This is very consistent with the real day-to-day life that we are living at Rivers. So glad that you learned a lot while you were with us. Every project and every client comes to us with a new set of technologies and needs. This helps to open our minds and keep us sharp. We love the new excitement and the new opportunity each day. And, fair statement, our weakness is saying yes to all new challenges and client needs. It really speaks to our startup mentality. Come to work with us and you will not get bored and you will learn a lot while having fun (and ice cream). Thank you! Lauren Rivers

      Pros

      Incredible place to work. An amazing place to grow as a creative and learn from some of the most passionate, skilled advertisers and developers you could ever hope to meet. Strong, supportive spirit of collaboration.

      Cons

      They can be a very brutally honest with you, which is a good thing, so be prepared to have thick skin and not take feedback personally. The criticism is always in service of helping you grow and delivering work for the client.

      Pros

      With over 25 years of experience in the advertising and entertainment industries, I can say without exaggeration that working for a woman-owned advertising agency is a breath of fresh air. Rivers Agency is helmed by a woman who has the business acumen to celebrate over 30 years doing what she loves, while never losing sight of the welfare of her community and her employees. She has surrounded herself with a talented team of professionals who work passionately together to push the creative and technical envelope every day for their clients. I am proud to have been part of this team for nearly four years, and have been continually fulfilled by the diversity of our clients, the longevity of our relationships, and the inspiration I draw from my teammates. I hope to spend many more years here as a valued member of the team.

      Cons

      There are no negatives that come to mind. Having many years of experience, I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. The Rivers Agency is an exceptional place to work.
