Pros

I have nothing to offer.

Cons

This is the only time I have reviewed a company on Glassdoor and I am only doing so because it is clear that the recent positive reviews were a reaction to the owner's frustration with the completely honest, yet absolutely blistering reviews left by everyone else. I know the owner had a call or attended a webinar with Glassdoor right before I left because he started asking for positive reviews on Glassdoor in the Monday morning meetings - and clearly implied that the lack of work coming in was partly attributable to the poor reviews (rather than the behaviors the reviews detailed). When you make people think they may not be getting a paycheck, they take action - eventually. Several months passed between the flurry of reviews and the first time he asked - which is also typical for Top Floor. I would like prospective employees to know that the company rewards backstabbing and finger-pointing. As the owner doesn't take personal responsibility for anything going wrong (blames former employees, blames coaches he has hired, blames processes for not working, etc.), he proves receptive to these conclusions when offered by his management team. As a result, anytime something goes wrong people quickly find they can get out of being held accountable if they blame someone else. This is the culture you can expect if you accept a position there. The people who get ahead do so not by outperforming others with talent, but rather by creating Game of Thrones like alliances in order to take others down. It was mind-blowing to me how little accountability there was in meeting after meeting when people pushed off deliverables like it was not their fault things they were specifically responsible for did not get done. The lack of actual talent for their jobs was breathtaking and the ability to take credit for a subordinates' work would be impressive if it wasn't so evidently self-serving. There is no common purpose here - just individuals protecting their turf. Not everyone here is bad, but the actual culture of the place will prevent you from moving ahead, and with the serious turnover and staffing issues, working here is more likely to hurt your resume than help it if you want to pursue agency work. If you have any doubts after interviewing, trust your gut. It really is THAT bad. There is a reason why the business is suffering and you are best off avoiding the place altogether (as in don't even tell people you interviewed there!)

Pros

The people are passionate about the work they do and your teammates have your back. Management is predominantly women who lift and support each other. I onboarded remotely and worked during the pandemic - I felt supported every day and had the tools to excel in my position. I didn't know much about SEO going into it, and learned a ton in my ~1 year there. The company is very goal-oriented from what they provide for clients down to setting employees up on the career path they desire. A nice perk is half day Fridays to give you the headspace to work on your goals and be offline a little. It's real people who really care about each other, starting with the two owners.

Cons

I'm a glass half full kinda person so I don't see this as a con but some may - it's a smaller firm, so you get to wear many hats. You'll rock it here as a self-starter and eager learner.
