Pros

When I came to work in the mornings, my smile would continuously grow, knowing I was coming to work with my good friends, who were all sensational people. The owner is incredibly generous. If you drove in early on a snow day, he'd leave a crisp hundy on your desk. If you liked ham from Costco because it had lower added water, he'd send someone to get it. There were always treats, excellent team-building events, and a stocked fridge. The client roster was heavy ski/snowboard/wintersports, which was like dream work for an outdoors lover. There were opportunities for personal and professional growth, coaching, and mentoring. I felt that ownership trusted my decisions and judgment, which gave me great latitude in developing the digital department. They prioritize digital and have solid strategies built around it going back to when I helped start the department. Their work continues to be cutting-edge and effective. Generous PTO policy, outstanding salary, and flexible work schedules!

Cons

The neighborhood is a bit sketchy. Watch your valuables in the neighborhood. I had a car window smashed, and a bike was stolen. The office space is nice, but the open desk floor plan can be challenging to focus on work.

Pros

All in the context of when I was there - small agencies change a lot depending on the team. I had the world's best manager and it was a great place for me to grow. I had a unique situation to create opportunities for myself in my role - I took over all social media and then made myself useful in pretty much any area that needed it. I was helping with ads, content creation, HTML, photoshoots, copywriting, etc. If you are ambitious, open-minded, and a lifelong learner - there's plenty of room for you to learn new skills. They really do care about you as a human being and it was the most fun work environment - plus I really love dogs. It really felt like a family - I still have great relationships with everyone that I worked with there and stay in touch!

Cons

It got really busy sometimes and that lands on creative to execute what the client wants on the timeline that the client needs - which was a lot at times so I felt like there was some separation between brand and creative. I would say you either come to Fish at the top of your game - ready to really own your department/role and make big changes or you come in early in your career and you have to be hungry. There's a lot of trust involved with a small team like Fish. I saw a lot of people come in and get frustrated by the lack of structure or communication sometimes but I think that has to do with your mindset and what kind of person you are/the work environment you thrive in.

Pros

- Great team of dedicated professionals who are fun to work with! - You’re not a cog in the wheel. It’s a small agency that likes collaboration, so everyone has the ability to contribute and make an impact on the work, even if it’s not something you’re directly responsible for. - Amazing creative work for an extremely fun roster of clients. - Flat org structure means your empowered to make decisions and recommendations to help make agency/work better

Cons

- You definitely have to be a self-starter and willing to jump in to projects. Team is too small to have handholding. - Typical of many agencies, turnaround times on projects can be fast. - With small companies you have to be your own advocate and comfortable raising your hand and asking questions since there isn’t a dedicated “people ops” for onboarding
