Pros

Everyone feels genuinely nice, friendly, and gets along really well. There's no office politics to worry about. And there isn’t a sense of hierarchy that I felt in my previous agency. There are lots of opportunities to learn and grow. You're not stuck in one role or task like most big agencies. I was able to broaden my skill set and gain diverse experiences. Working with renowned fashion clients is also a highlight, which are really pleasant to work with for the most part. The office space is nice. It’s in a Wework located in SoHo. Very accessible by train and buses. There are plenty of great food options around, making lunchtime fun. We also get to choose the snacks we buy monthly, which is a small perk that adds joy to our workdays. There’s a good amount of social events for team bonding. The leadership team is transparent and approachable. They genuinely care about us and are open to discussions and feedback. Compensation is great. Unlimited PTO is great. Employee turnover is low. The company is growing, doubled in size within the past year.

Cons

While some may find the hybrid three-day office a bit much, it's actually nice to spend time with colleagues in person. Face-to-face interaction enhances productivity and effective communication. However, there are flexibility from work-from-home requests when necessary. Plus we rarely have to work pass work hours.

Pros

The company culture is extremely welcoming. Upon joining the team only 2 months ago, the wide open arms from all the team members helped me to become comfortable working with my new peers and in a hybrid environment. The brands/clients dealt with at this agency are super interesting and full of new projects, which is a nice change of pace when looking back at the rigidity of larger companies.

Cons

One con I can think of would be commuting into NYC can be hectic with the traffic/trains, however, the flexibility of working in a hybrid environment (in-person 3 days) helps break up the work week and provides a better work/life balance.

Pros

Amazing Company Culture: The team's passion and support creates a motivating/fun work environment. Can honestly say there hasn't been a single day that I dread going into work. Great Exposure/Career Growth: Working with a wide range of clients provides exciting challenges and growth opportunities. Another thing that has been a pleasant surprise at B&T has been the openness to let employees take on new things. Supportive Team Environment: B&T employees are all highly skilled, super supportive, and eager to help in any way they can. Impactful Work: Clients truly appreciate the work we do and the work itself is usually super fulfilling, and very rarely do you get the monotonous tasks that you typically get at large agencies. Competitive Compensation: Block & Tam offers competitive pay, immediate 401k match, and great benefits that are super affordable. Work/Life Balance: Block and Tam leadership does a really good job keeping employees happy and has a family type of feel. We have events with clients, team happy hours, birthday celebrations, summer Fridays, and pretty much everything in between. Also unlimited PTO is a huge benefit offered although I truly enjoy the work so don't plan to take a ton of vacation days, but glad its available to me.

Cons

Depending on the client there may be an expectation to work after 6pm with one off tasks coming in late from time to time. This is definitely not the norm and for the most part clients are respectful of your time and stay within the 9-6 working window. This is pretty standard for the industry but the work life balance is great.
