Pros

One thing Zocalo Group prides itself on is an entrepreneurial spirit. This is truly one of the things I enjoy about the agency - it translates into a tight-knit working environment, access to senior leadership and really open communication to all levels at the agency. However, since it is part of the Ketchum & Omnicom networks, it is nice to have access to the types of perks that exist within this type of international network. On a more personal level, I've had the opportunity to work on projects that fall into areas I'm passionate about. Areas I used to work in on the side at previous jobs, I know get to incorporate into my full-time career. I've also experienced several opportunities to grow my career here. I've found that my contributions to the team have been regularly recognized and rewarded. I know I still have many opportunities to grow and move up in this agency. Lastly, I find the environment to be fun and casual. This doesn't mean there's any shortage of work, drive and ambition here. It just means that the work we get to do is interesting and always evolving. There are certainly no two days alike here. And let's face it, working in social media & working with bloggers/influencers is fun!

Cons

The job can be demanding since social media is always on & can require immediate responses even on off hours. Like any other quickly-growing company, there are sometimes growing pains transitioning from a smaller to mid-size agency.
