Cons
* A majority of the leadership team has spent their entire tenure at RSR and therefore don’t possess the experience of having worked at other companies. This has left them with a very limited understanding and archaic approach when it comes to process, tools, the work, and their own team members. This unfortunately has a tremendous impact on all non-leadership team members as they are left to work and think within the confines of the archaic infrastructure that has been established. * It is an experience- immature company that is trying to scale but doesn’t have the leadership in place to support that. It is an old-school marketing company that is trying to disguise itself as a best-in-class agency. * Focus is on billable hours, not on the actual work. People are spread across so many projects, the focus isn’t on doing great work, it’s on getting it out the door. * Employees are not setup for success. * People have been there for so long, they don’t know how to think outside of the box. * Constructive feedback is not provided by leadership. * Projects are sold by leadership without proper scoping & then the production team is left holding the bag. * There is no work life balance & there is limited respect for people’s working hours.

Pros
I've been in the agency world for my whole career in various roles/companies and never experienced an agency as nurturing and considerate as RSR. The company is run day-to-day by two badass ladies that started at the bottom and worked their way up to leadership roles. They've worked hard and earned their seat at the table and their ability to both dig into the weeds and add value at a 10k ft altitude shows just how sharp and dedicated they are. They value everyone's contributions and perspectives and really invest in employees' well-being, work-life balance, and career growth. The production team takes special care to manage and throttle employee workloads, set reasonable deadlines and set clear expectations internally and with clients. They strike a great balance of working smarter, not harder, and empower everyone to do the same. The team is small but mighty and chock full of a great mix of subject matter experts and jacks of all trades. Everyone really cares about putting out quality work and pushing each other to collaborate and elevate the end product. The pay is great, especially considering the solid work-life balance, benefits package, and remote opportunities RSR affords. You get the benefits of an NYC agency (salary and clientele) with the freedom of location autonomy and non-NYC rent (if you choose).
Cons
As with most agencies, there are some clients/projects that are exciting and interesting, and some that are more bread and butter to pay the bills. It comes with the territory, and management strives to give employees a balance of both to keep things interesting.
