Pros

I appreciate that they support various charities. I also appreciated the Little Amps barista, my weekly free latte was my only glimmer of true happiness.

Cons

This was my first job out of college (spoiler alert: they only hire people with little to no prior experience), and it gave me so much work related anxiety that has taken years to sort through. During my time at WebFX, I was diagnosed with a chronic illness. Despite having consistently positive performance reviews, I was pulled into a meeting with my manager to discuss "how WebFX could support my illness." I was then told that if my illness affected me during my work day I would no longer be eligible for a promotion. I was told that multiple coworkers told my manager I "looked sick at work," and was asked if I could appear to be healthier while in the office. They then proceeded to reveal to me that another coworker was dealing with an illness (that I was not even aware of), and I was told that the two of us were not allowed to ask each other how we were feeling during the work day. They told me that if my sickness affected me at work I should simply stop doing other activities outside of work hours because they knew that I was "very involved with my family and my church, but work should be my top priority." They are opposed to ANYTHING that isn't dripping with positivity. Having a rough day? You better already have a 10-step plan to be the happiest person in the world by EOD. Do you see room for a process improvement? Prepare to be pulled into multiple hour long meetings so that they can explain to you how you're wrong and why you should never question them again. Despite what they say, they do not care about your personhood. They praise the almighty "FX Family" but as soon as you are faced with family tragedy or illness they could not care less. You are just a number to them. It's clear through their monthly sprints, unpaid breaks and lunches, and productivity trackers that take screenshots of your screen every five minutes. If you are someone who has yet to face a life altering event, or if you're willing to be overworked and silenced then you might find success here. If you're someone who has a strong voice and confidence you will likely be pushed out without a second thought to your wellbeing. I chose to quit WebFX but in my time there I saw countless people fired over absolutely nothing. Get out while you still can, and find somewhere that will value you and your life outside of work.

Pros

Not going to sugarcoat it - the work is hard and the expectations are real. But the flip side is you actually learn things and move up if you perform. I went from jr to sr in a reasonable timeframe because the progression path is transparent and based on merit. FXLearns certifications, ongoing training, solid coaching. The office perks are a cherry on top - snacks, coffee, gym, standing desks. The StemFX scholarship program and charity initiatives make you feel like the work matters beyond revenue.

Cons

The pace is fast and you can fall behind if you don't focus. There's a lot of change - new tools, new processes, new initiatives rolling out constantly. Adapting is part of the job. I'd also say client work can be draining depending on who you're working with. Some clients are great, others... less so.

Pros

Wow! So many pro's,..Where do I start? Gotta say that the people here that I get to work with are just amazing. Each day I look forward to being here with them and overcoming any challenge together. At day one the positivity and care shown to myself, for each other, for our clients and for the common goal of the company is evident. Powered by positivity isn't just a slogan here, but a way of life that is infectious. That starts with a vision and great leadership from the top down. From the first tour through our campus, to our team celebrations and to our amazing company wide events I have been treated like family. The perks feel endless with our own in-house barista, food trucks, snack walls, fitness gym, kayaks, bikes, bring your pet to work desks and an awesome atmosphere designed for healthy productivity. All of this is located on a beautiful campus overlooking the Susquehanna river here in Central Pa. If your looking for a place that feels more than just a workplace and to be who you are. Would you be excited to grow along side incredible people towards a common goal and have a blast doing it this is the place for you! Speaking for myself it is the very best place I could have ever asked for employment and it feels like home.

Cons

I personally don't have any cons at the moment. I just grateful.
