Pros

There's always cranberry juice in the fridge and you get to work in a relaxed office.

Cons

For being an advertising agency, my creativity limits were extremely restricted and controlled. The language barrier from one of the partners is also an issue and carries over in the work that is produced. It's also a bit of a struggle when a good portion of the company is related to one another. I do not see this company going anywhere in the near future.

Pros

I really enjoy working with such a supportive and talented team that brings out the best in each other. There are opportunities to challenge yourself, mentor others and really take ownership of your area of expertise. The hybrid work situation is a plus for my busy family.

Cons

Nothing to report for cons.

Pros

Interesting work and clients, lots of learning and growth opportunities. Talented and friendly creative team with many opportunities for close collaboration. Good pay.

Cons

Very challenging work with ridiculous turnaround times. The result is very little work-life balance - working nights/weekends is to be expected. Very little support or backup for writers, so you need to be extremely independent from day 1. This is a high-burnout company.
