Pros
Jon and Steve have built up a really great company with smart and creative employees across the board. Big shoutout to John Lee as well for killing it across literally every single account the agency has. The man basically works 80 hour days and I’m not sure how he does it. I was pleasantly surprised to see how hands on and committed they all are as my previous managers and directors tended to take the backseat. Everyone at this company works really hard, and not just because they’re short-staffed. They all seem to genuinely care and want to put out good work. I felt that there was a lot of room for me to help across teams and I appreciated the opportunity to voice my perspective and ideas.
Kontras
From an account exec perspective, I didn’t really have much to complain about. I’m only leaving because I was offered a really great opportunity elsewhere and couldn’t turn it down.
However I will say that the graphic designers, web developers and marketing team (esp the marketing team) are very overworked as the teams are understaffed and resource allocation is a constant battle. I know they’re actively trying to hire more people to help balance the scale, but that’s the current reality.
