Pros
have been with Rivers Agency for a little over 4 years. It is fun, laid back and we get to design great stuff for big clients. As small as we are we still have a lot of cool employee involvement in every decision - Birthday Committee, Holiday Party Committee and we even voted on our retirement benefits. Our leadership put some options out for us through email and then we had a meeting and voted on what we wanted to invest in - 401(k) or Simple IRA or IRA funding. The CEO also sends out emails to all of us keeping us in the loop about pitches, positive client feedback, winning business and big meetings. She also asks our opinion abut everything, hence the committees. We also complete internal surveys for the leadership as a way to get them feedback and for them to make adjustments. Our Directors are ALWAYS looking for feedback.
Kontras
Not a lot middle management. To me it’s actually a pro, but some people want to get titles. At Rivers we have designers, writers and developers. The best team in the business, by far, and I have worked at 3 other NC agencies since 2004.
