Pros
I worked at SCORR for almost 14 years and though I decided to leave, it was a tough decision. This company cares about its employees and puts in the time to provide support, guidance, mentorship, and advice to help you be successful. I joined SCORR as an account manager and through all the experience I gained was promoted to senior account manager, senior director account management, director of business development, and senior director of business development. You can forge your own path with SCORR, and you get what you put into the company, and it pays off! The people are a big benefit of working at SCORR and everyone lives out the company's values and wants you to succeed. The team is so talented and it is hard to come by a full service agency that truly has expertise in all facets of marketing - strategy, branding, copywriting, creative, interactive/web, market intelligence, content development, video, digital, media, public relations, trade shows, sales, and more. The people and company take a lot of pride in their work, and put their hearts behind it to ensure our clients are successful. The clients and focus on the drug development industry are differentiators from other marketing agencies. The clients appreciate SCORR and its people, and it shows in how they treated me (and our team) like a member of their own team. I was able to gain extraordinary experience by working with SCORR's leadership directly as well as reporting into the C-suite on the client side.
Cons
Not everyone is built for agency life, and that is okay. Good qualities to have are being driven, able to work independently but also collaboratively, passionate, dependable, organized, strategic/thoughtful, and more.
