Pros

The perks are great! I think it's the main reason they still have some otherwise very, very unhappy employees.

Cons

First and foremost, the owners and founders are brilliant men. Both of them. If you can shut up long enough to learn from them you will. However, you are treated like a client. You will receive sales pitch after sales pitch to address any concern you have with your role or the company. You are incredibly dehumanized and told you're an asset constantly, but you are never made to actually feel that way. Square 2's problem is that they are just words. For a company that thrives on a silly "no fluff" policy, you spew the most fluff out of everyone, maybe not to your clients (who more often than not wind up hating this company) but certainly to your employees. Give HR the rope they need to actually fix the deep rooted problems both owners have created. HR takes all the heat, and all of the blows from the unhappy employees but his hands are totally tied by his own ignorant bosses who REFUSE to admit that they could possibly be the problem.

Pros

+ No micromanagement + Fun environment + Very approachable supervisors and team mates + Big room for growth (they have quarterly Professional Day, where you can study anything while getting paid) + Fun culture + Bountiful PTO and OOO + Flexible time (as long as it has a atleast a 4-hour overlap)

Cons

- maybe this one just one time, but we were let go abruptly, no warnings, no nothing. I'm assuming this is due to the recent merger/acquisition and personnel had to be let go.

Pros

If you care about your job, the results you produce, and the people you work with - then this the place for you. Having experience in working with other inbound marketing agencies, I knew what the job required, and I was looking for a company that did more than just deliver tactics or blow their ego up in their spare time. I was very cautious and careful during my interview process to spot any red flags and I am beyond happy to share that everything I learned about Square 2 Marketing during my recruitment has proven to be true. Like I said, if you're looking for a "job," and really just want to punch in and out, this may not be the place for you. But, you want to innovate? Expand your own skills? Change the way the world markets - come here. The bulleted list: - Recruitment was fun - Benefits after 30 days - Paid maternity/paternity leave - Easy access to the leadership team/owners if ever needed - BIG celebrations for when we reach goals - The room to grow yourself - Competitive salary

Cons

Like with any agency, transition and change are parts of the culture. Marketing and our industry is constantly changing and in order to remain ahead of the curve we have to move quickly - this may not be for everyone.
