Pros

Diverse roster of clients ranging from engineering-based companies to universities and food purveyors. Highwater constantly offers new services, so if there is something you think businesses would benefit from, you can implement it into the plan.

Kontras

Micromanagement from the top makes everything difficult to get done. Because it's a small company, everyone "wears many hats", meaning you have your own accounts but you are also managing all accounts for all clients in some capacity and often assisting management. You will be called into offices and yelled orders at, then complete the assignment and often it will not be correct. If you ask questions, they will be rephrased to be stated in a way management would like them to be asked. Everyone is stretched very thin and it's often difficult to get assets approved by the top before client meetings. This creates stress for all parties involved and lends itself to a lot of yelling, swearing, and blaming. If you are joining the team right out of college/early 20s, be prepared to have everything approved by management and then rejected before anything moves forward. Often things are late because internal approval was not received to move forward. There is not a good work/life balance here either, you are expected to work from 8:00am to after 6pm every day and rarely take lunch breaks. Weekend work is common as well.

Pros

The environment is definitely challenging, but in the best way. You learn a lot quickly and are constantly pushed to improve and develop new skills. This is a place where hard work and effort actually matter, and people who are motivated and eager to learn tend to do well. It’s not a role where you can do the bare minimum and coast. Expectations are high, accountability is real, and performance is noticed. The culture naturally attracts and develops high-performing people, which makes it a strong environment for growth if you’re willing to put in the work.

Pros

If you just desperately need a job/paycheck, then this company is a pro because you can get a paycheck.

Kontras

Don’t expect to work here long because you will either quit since the CEO is a narcicist and will tell you your work is horrible and your mental health will decline, or he will fire you because he believes your work is terrible. While I was there for a little over a year I saw over 50% of the employees rotate out of that company - this is a huge red flag! This is a sign of a management problem and people being extremely unhappy with their job! But the ceo will never admit he does anything wrong, so be prepared to hate your life while working for him. If you decide to work here, don’t take anything personal that he says to you. Company culture is toxic and horrible since everyone is scared and stressed out all the time.
