Great Company, Great Role, Slightly Below Average Pay
Jun 28, 2022 -RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Team structure - having both an account team to really know your particular clients, and a department team to really get to know your speciality is unique but much appreciated. Management - the managers not only care about you as a person (every single one on one my personal life is discussed), but don't micromanage you and will do anything they can to help you better succeed in your role. REAL marketing - with a lot of agencies, the work you do is going to be to just keep a client on board with you as long as possible, but that's not the case here. What we do for our clients is proven to work, and it changes as the landscape of digital marketing changes as well. Adaptability - the company as a whole is constantly taking feedback from employees and implementing it. It's not just words, an example is that they heard it was important to the staff to have Juneteenth as a holiday, so that was immediately added as a holiday when the year ended. Remote work - this isn't for everyone, but it is important for people who would've had long commutes, people with families, or people who couldn't relocate. Very important to me.
Cons
Compensation - the pay could afford to be a bit higher, especially knowing how much money we bring in. There are companies out there that come knocking at my door daily offering more money to do the same job, but the environment of Blue Corona and my manager keeps me from entertaining those offers. Lack of social aspects - with remote work, you don't really get to know those on your team very well unless you REALLY make the effort to do so. That's not always easy for everyone to do, and so it can be lonely without any kind of "forced interactions", like virtual happy hours or team bonding of sorts.

A winning culture, vision and values
Jun 22, 2021 - Anonymous Employee in Charlotte, NCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Blue Corona has been named to the Inc. Best Workplaces list year after year after year. During my time at Blue Corona, it was easy to see why. In March 2020, when the world began to understand the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Blue Corona team quickly adapted to a remote work environment, relying a strong company culture, transparent leadership, and a workforce 100% that not only UNDERSTANDS the company’s core values, but that takes pride in living by those values. Every employee at Blue Corona thinks and acts like an owner, both of Blue Corona and of clients’ businesses. That level of personal investment is one of the reasons everyone on the team is so devoted to growth. It’s also why team members make it a point of doing what’s right, instead of taking easy paths and shortcuts. The team rallies to each other...there’s a genuine spirit of helpfulness, of “we’re all in this together.” When there’s a challenge, everyone’s quick to work together — even if it means putting in a little extra time at the end of the day so a coworker doesn’t carry a heavy load alone. And when there’s a victory, everyone shares in that victory, because there’s a sincere “we win as a team” mindset. I’ve worked a lot of places...every workplace has challenges. Blue Corona was one of the best...you’re not an employee at Blue Corona, you’re truly a valued member of a team.
Cons
Like any marketing agency — especially a digital agency — there’s always a tug between demand and resources. When you want to make every client happy...to deliver success to each client, however the client may define it (or constantly re-define it)...you’ll always feel a need to do more. Performance marketing is a room with no ceiling, a road with no terminus, and so there’s infinite potential to do more work...and thus infinite potential to feel more is needed from you. That’s life in marketing, I suppose.
Dear Winning Culture, Vision, and Values, Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective from your time with Blue Corona - AND thank you for all your hard work during your time with us. Best of luck with your new career, and don't hesitate to reach out if we can help you at some point in the future. -Ben Ben Landers CEO

High Turnover, Only Good for the Inexperienced
Aug 5, 2021 - SEO Analyst in Charlotte, NCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
An opportunity to gain experience
Cons
If you stay there for over 2 years with no slight promotion (even a "senior" or "associate" title), then you're probably not going anywhere.

Overworked employees. Horrible pay
Jun 6, 2021 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
You can learn a lot about digital marketing and get some experience with Google Ads and Analytics.
Cons
Work life balance does not exist. You're expected to take on a lot more than you can bear. Don't be surprised when your mental and physical health deteriorates at the expense of this job, and not be compensated for the extra work. Don't work here, they will burn you out.
