We love being a remote-hybrid agency - it allows the Thrive team to interact with many viewpoints, digital marketing experiences, and cultures. There have indeed been many changes in employee organization including compensation structures recently to better serve clients and Thrivers - we like to say Better Never Stops!

Pros

All your thoughts creativity and ideas are taken and handed to your managers and then your manager takes credit for this. You train your manager to take your credit.

Cons

The company is partially owned by an investor and because of this, they don't give raises no matter how much you contribute or upsell it's not going to get you a raise they will happily replace you. Matt Bowman is a hermit who dodges any interaction with employees Matt Bowman routinely says you cannot have a quarterback who is the wide receiver yet forces all his employees to be in non-stop meetings all day and wonders why fulfillment takes a back seat. Matt Bowman last year decided to terminate yearly bonuses which you get from upselling clients (and did not tell his employees) literally was something you would see in Game of Thrones every employee was talking about how they're done and starting their own agency even upper management. They have many false statements in their onboarding documentation. Like you will get a macbook

Thrive values feedback from both our alumni and current employees. We work in a fast-paced agency environment that values creativity and hard work from our employees while providing a strong work-life balance. Each employee is provided autonomy and is responsible for their work effort and results for all of our clients. Working at Thrive you will find that Matt Bowman is open to meet with each employee to discuss any concerns that the employee may have. Matt truly cares about his employees and understands the financial impact that he has on his employee’s families. Matt has paid out performance bonuses every year when the company has met its financial goals. Thrive paid out a performance bonus for 2018. Thrive does have a minority investor who provides strategic guidance to the company. The minority investor is not involved with the day-to-day activities nor has any input into employee compensation. This role requires the Specialist/Strategist to own the relationship with their client. This involves strategy and implementation by the employee. Our core values focus on relationships and results. This requires that our employees own the relationship with the client. Owning the relationship includes meeting with the clients regularly to discuss strategy and report on results. We want to be transparent with the work we are performing for all of our clients. Time management is a required skill for this position. All new employees that start with Thrive receives a $500 technology stipend to be used towards a new computer of their choice or home office equipment. We have a saying, “Better Never Stops”. We value feedback to help Thrive to continuously improve.
