      Pros

      Forthea produces good work, has defined processes and provides decent work-life balance.

      Cons

      Since 2020 the majority of senior staff have left and were replaced by junior level employees. The company now has a very different vibe and the remaining senior talent is looking to get out. There is inconsistency in how people are treated and a number of broken promises that has reduced morale. Some are required to maintain the 3 days in office hybrid schedule, while others work from home weeks at a time. One person comes and go as they please with little accountability or concern when they disappear after 2pm daily. Don’t even get me started on opportunities for women or how we are treated with a subtle disregard.

      Not Your best career Move

      Pros

      it's an agency so you get to work on a variety of brands and clients, which can help you learn and grow. You also could get that experience at literally any other agency though.

      Cons

      the owner is a micromanager, and very difficult to work under - your hours and office days will be scrutinized, and pto docked without consent (probably illegal too.) Low pay for what you do and there is a secret bonus program that only some people in the same position will get, so transparency is a problem and pay equity too. You're lucky if you're a guy actually because you will move up further, and quicker than any other leading ladies that have been on the team. Bad benefits, insurance is expensive and limited coverage. PTO accrual is a joke, any agency now offers unlimited pto.

      Pros

      Leadership actually knows who you are. You are not just another employee, but a valued person on the team.

      Cons

      While working in an agency you have to cater to clients. There can be a feeling of being walked over and never picked back up with certain ones.
