Pros

-Some great people scattered over different departments. -Paid on time, everytime.

Cons

-Secret layoffs, but then new hires are hired for less and are promoted to the laid-off person's former position. -Too many inexperienced employees running the departments. -This company loves to add Vice Presidents (some who have such minimal experience compared to other people who are or were in their department (before the layoffs began in late 2022) while laying off good people and making everyone left take on more work. -It's impossible to take time off and actually take time off based on how client accounts are setup and how the departments run. -For early twenty-somethings, this could be a good fit, but you have to suck up to try to get on the good side of the CEO and the VPs. It's very obnoxious frat boy at GRo.

Pros

You'll get to work for some very reputable clients. The founders are very well-connected, driven, and motivated. You'll also work alongside some very talented individuals and learn a lot from them. You will be in good communication with some very awesome people and make lasting connections at this agency. I do believe leadership genuinely cares about their team.

Cons

Depending on your role, you can expect to be constantly be in meetings with little time in between to do work besides preparing for these meetings. There are so many Slack channels and you can expect to be pinged all day. Some of the directors will reach out to as soon as they smell a whiff of a fire, and stress you out with messages even if you have it under control and are extremely busy. That's always going to be tough while you're in the middle of a client call - especially if they don't understand your channels and need everything spelled out for them. You may have to play a lot of defense to protect yourself. Unlimited PTO is described as a benefit, but not honored (which is the case at a lot of agencies, to be fair).
