Pros

In the years that I've been here, everyone has worked hard for their clients, but aren't afraid to push back when requests are unreasonable--that's hard to find in a service-driven industry. They're creative, smart and accepting . They really let your individual personalities shine, whether you're a film geek, sports fan or fashionista. Another pro: the leadership team takes the time to educate people, and is willing to listen to any grievances. This was definitely not the case in my previous job. I couldn't even bring up the issues I had, let alone find a resolution for it. It's a great culture and environment overall--office and team outings are insanely fun (we've gone to Six Flags, a speakeasy, cooking class, etc.) and lots of celebrations for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Amazing health plan, too.

Cons

401k match could be a lot better More communication across offices

Thank you for the review. We are glad you’re happy here and feel your voice is being heard! We understand the need to decompress during regular office hours and have a life outside of PR. If you have ideas for social events or outings, both in the office and out, our Cultural Committee would love to hear them.

Pros

I was hesitant to join another agency after a couple of “standard” agency experiences- chronically overservicing accounts, regularly working late, high manager turnover and a senior team that only paid lip service to staff challenges. But a recruiter insisted that SHIFT was different and I am so happy I joined the agency four years ago. SHIFT truly is different and cares about its people just as much as the clients we work with. Work-life balance? Check. Supportive colleagues? Check. A culture without politics? Check. Clients who treat us well? Check. Clear career progression? Check. Added to the caring culture, I am constantly wowed (but not surprised) by the smarts of my colleagues at all levels. My colleagues constantly bring high quality creative thinking, consultancy and results to our clients. SHIFTers are a wonderful combination of relentless and curious, plus other key traits. Overall, SHIFT is the agency that’s walking the talk and doing things right. Keep it up!

Cons

When I first joined, some of the benefits weren’t great, but since SHIFT has become a Padilla agency the benefits are so much better across the board.
