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.
