Pros

Great internship program, and good opportunities to meet some interesting people in the field.

Cons

Over worked and under paid. Toxic work culture, has the feel of a fraternity over a supportive work environment. If you aren't part of a clique you most likely won't succeed. Management isn't transparent with junior staff, and they don't properly foster growth and development. I was cery disappointed.

SHIFT Communications Response
6y
While this feedback is certainly difficult to hear, we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about working at SHIFT. We’re sorry you didn’t have a great experience during your time here. Things move pretty fast in our business and it’s unfortunate if an employee feels that causes us to miss the mark on communication. That is never our intention. We are continuously working to make culture, transparency and organic growth priorities within our organization. In fact, we are incredibly proud to end the year celebrating several promotions, including four additions to our senior management team – all of which represent promotions from within! Thanks again for taking the time to leave this review and we wish you the best in your career.

Pros

I was hesitant to join another agency after a couple of “standard” agency experiences- chronically overservicing accounts, regularly working late, high manager turnover and a senior team that only paid lip service to staff challenges. But a recruiter insisted that SHIFT was different and I am so happy I joined the agency four years ago. SHIFT truly is different and cares about its people just as much as the clients we work with. Work-life balance? Check. Supportive colleagues? Check. A culture without politics? Check. Clients who treat us well? Check. Clear career progression? Check. Added to the caring culture, I am constantly wowed (but not surprised) by the smarts of my colleagues at all levels. My colleagues constantly bring high quality creative thinking, consultancy and results to our clients. SHIFTers are a wonderful combination of relentless and curious, plus other key traits. Overall, SHIFT is the agency that’s walking the talk and doing things right. Keep it up!

Cons

When I first joined, some of the benefits weren’t great, but since SHIFT has become a Padilla agency the benefits are so much better across the board.
