Pros

I felt a lot of ownership at AF. I was the only copywriter for the brands in my workload, so it was up to me to know the details of their business, their copy voice, their brand guidelines, etc. I really liked being the ultimate authority for the companies I worked on. All of the people I worked with were creative, smart, and dedicated.

Cons

Everyone seems incredibly overworked, especially management. This makes it hard (especially for new people) to get good feedback and guidance. I would sometimes turn in copy for review and never hear anything back - or sometimes I would turn in copy and be told the the project scope or goals had changed, and I'd never been told. Meetings are a real problem at AF. I would spend 75% of every day in meetings, leaving very little time to get any actual work done. Worse, many of the meetings were worthless for my day-to-day work. I also didn't see any long-term prospects for advancement at AF - very common for small agencies.

Thanks for the input, Senior Copywriter. We really appreciate the feedback. And we’re proud that we empowered you to do some great work while at AvreaFoster. And yes we do fall victim to being a bit heavy on meetings. It’s something that we’ve worked on, but needs more attention. Thanks again for the feedback.

Pros

Despite COVID-19, AvreaFoster still upheld an amazing intern program over the summer. It was organized, valuable, and the people made it even better!

Cons

No cons. I wish it was in person because the office is beautiful, but COVID-19 restricted it. Not their fault.

Pros

good salary and good benefits

Cons

not the most exciting place to work as a creative. Clients are very corporate minded. Leadership has a difficult time communicating and selling value to the client. High personnel turnover with the exception of leadership, not much room for growth
