Pros

- ROOM FOR GROWTH - lots of potential for promotions from AC to VP. We have senior level folks here that started as interns/ACs. Seriously. - Great culture (team outings, fun brainstorms, random craft parties and happy hours) - Unrivaled benefits/pay (spot bonuses, higher salary than most agencies (trust me!), health/fitness programs, 401K) - Skilled & savvy senior level (ADs, VPs and up know what they're doing and provide great client service/counsel) I could go on...love my coworkers, the CLIENTS are awesome and always interesting, the structure of this agency is unlike any other I've experienced. SHIFT really takes its work seriously and does what it takes to make both the client and the staff happy. LOVE the CEO, she is dedicated to growing and improving SHIFT and works her butt off to make sure the agency is a well oiled machine.

Cons

- Not hiring enough junior level staff. There are a lot of client service teams that could use more interns/AC level personnel that just don't get that support. With that said, though, I think that is a lingering problem every agency faces.

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.
