Pros

After working here only a few months I am already impressed by the overall positive vibe and forward thinking outlook of the agency. Agency is winning new biz at an exciting pace, at a rate I am not accustomed to seeing in the industry. Doing a great job with allowing remote workers across the country, rewards employees monetarily, and plans fun virtual activities to get to know other employees a bit better. Generator hires smart people, and it is evident in the work they produce, clients they retain and new biz they win. Also, unlike a lot of agencies, they actually want you to take time off to recharge and enjoy yourself.

Cons

Honestly, nothing I can think of. Sometimes I miss working in person with people, but with being so busy during the day, and being so connected virtually to my coworkers, it is not a big deal.

Pros

There were cool and smart people...who’ve pretty much all but left the agency either on their own or were let go by the fire happy management. Greg the prez has a cool personality though and learns peoples names though he barely knows what’s going on media wise.

Cons

I’m surprised there’s so little reviews...maybe people just want to move on and forget about their time at this agency that’s barely hanging on. There used to be really cool and smart people, agency events, etc. Most of what’s left now are people that are too comfortable to leave and take the leap for better opportunities or are stuck given the unpredictable climate. Devolution of culture and rounds of layoffs over the last year or two was sad to experience. Pretty much just hires interns now to train them up so they don’t have to shell out for more senior people who may influence the agency’s “culture” or lack there of (happened before and people left in droves as a result). Not as innovative with access to most recent tech and processes are really manual...they still use Excel for a lot of things. Used to be some marquee-ish clients but Cage Point, founded by one of the prior founders of this agency, will continue to pick out prior clients one by one. If NYU or American Red Cross leave good luck to this agency’s existence.

Greg here, thanks for the feedback and insight. Wish you didn't feel the way you do as you sound (from a professional development POV) frustrated. The items in the post above feels disconnected to the client survey data we receive every 90 days (and that i share out to our team). Our weekly Town Halls, weekly newsletters are meant to update and share latest developments with account status, new biz pipeline, and so on. Generator University is a deliberate program to further train/grow staff. I think the clients we keep NYU, Penn State, American Red Cross, Barry's Boot Camp, KOA, Miele, Mutti, Symple Loans and others have come to look at us as partners. Honestly, if you're in fact a current employee (as this post indicates) I'd encourage you to speak with our outsourced HR leaders, Lisa to get this off your chest and potentially together create some positive impact. As you know my door is always open and I hope you'd reach out for a conversation. Thanks.. Greg

Pros

Good perks, snacks, transportation reimbursement, etc.

Cons

The company is disorganized. There is no existing structure in place and employees are expected to just figure it out. Various teams are very separated, there's no transparency and/or intercommunication and we often have no idea what other teams are working on so there's often a disconnect and doesn't make it feel like we're part of this overall company community. Upper management tends to be unsupportive and often stifles new ways of thinking. The company tend to also spoil its clients, making the employees work more than necessary and are often more on the side of the client than its own employees.
