Amazing place to grow your career

Senior account executive

Business outlook

Pros

Leadership is thoughtful and decisive. You’re surrounded by smart and genuinely talented people. Expectations are clear and achievable and work life balance is respected in a way that’s uncommon for agencies. It’s a high performance culture with great structure -- agency life doesn’t get much better than this.

Cons

The pace can be intense, particularly given the caliber of clients and the visibility of the work. High expectations come with high profile accounts, so responsiveness and flexibility are essential. That’s the nature of agency life, but it does require resilience.

Pros

Respect and work/life balance on teams even if you’re within a different time zone, very welcoming and kind teammates, understanding of workloads, and one of the best pros as someone who came from a different agency would be how leadership will step in and help with any and all projects.

Cons

None that I can think of so far
