The team at Sitewire is unique and unparalleled to any other in the Phoenix agency world. It was a very intimate community where everyone is extremely talented and willing to get the work done. I found that the agency overall was run extremely well, there was a lot of transparency about financials and current company status. Bret & Margie are passionate marketers who are always approachable and available for mentoring and assistance. There was a steady / even balance of new business and legacy clients, some of which could be difficult at times but that is the business we are all in. Benefits while I was there were phenomenal but the salary could have been better - yearly reviews were always scheduled but sometimes did not result in a bonus or salary increase even with glowing reviews. Culture events were always a priority which is great for morale but sometimes I wondered how much was being spent on them and if that money could be re-purposed for salaries. They were extremely respectful of work/life balance almost a bit too much, working from home was common for some people which sometimes could result in lack of communication. Its a great benefit to offer employees the ability to work from home when needed, but there needs to be a level of accountability if that is the case.

The "service delivery" teams (read: development, design, media) at times were diva-like. As an account individual, it was difficult to get them to engage and hit certain deadlines. Ultimately it would be pulled together in the end but there was a lack of proactive communication and almost a double standard for how account teams should operate versus service.
