Pros

Colleagues are supportive, friendly, competent, as well as the senior management. I've been with the company 3 years, and have been happy here. We have office retreats the company pays for, birthdays are celebrated, gifts on your anniversary, lunches, volunteer days, and other such benefits. The CEO visits our offices in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, and in Europe, and takes a genuine interest in everyone working - from interns to senior staff. I've seen interns become full time associates, and associates become directors and VP's. This company rewards you for your hard work as well as your ability to be a team player. The issue with some of these comments is these are insolent adults - truly - rude, arrogant, and lacking any respect for their peers or senior colleagues. Don't let these kids fool you. This is a good company, these people work hard, and they are great teams to work with.

Cons

Sometimes there is miscommunication, and sometimes wires are crossed, but they handle it well, and the company has been going and growing for 6+ years, and it's going strong.

Thank you for your input. As someone who has been with the company 5 years and worked closely with senior management, I can vouch for your assessment of the growth of the company, the opportunities provided each employee, and the tireless work of our CEO. I agree, there have been some, to quote you, "bad apples," that we've had to part ways with, but we have very solid teams throughout the company, and we have dedicated, hardworking employees like you to thank.

Pros

In the 2+ years I have been at 87AM, we have transformed ourselves several times, and we are now in a very strong place as a digital agency. These transformations have occurred visibly in the physical office environment we inhabit, as we have now outgrown 2 offices in my tenure and are comfortably enjoying the 3rd. Our office creates a collaborative and inspiring environment and is also able to adapt as we continue to grow in size. The team here is passionate, dedicated and expert-level in the digital space and is poised for continued expansion in the future. The leadership echoes those same qualities, but also looks after the staff to ensure happiness, fulfillment and career success. We are a group of self-starters who enjoy the fast and furious pace of digital agency life and wouldn't have it any other way.

Cons

The amount of growth 87AM has seen has been massive, and as such, certain things get compromised in order to stay nimble as a business. We are now so much stronger as a result of these changes, but a few things became extra challenging in the short-term, including training/onboarding, organizational structure, setting up process and truly enforcing office culture. Those challenges are now big focuses of the agency, so they will continue to improve as we move forward into our bright future.
