Pros

I've been at Gavin for a while and we do have crazy deadlines, but that's the life of an agency. We get to do really cool work here. And there's certainly a fun collaborative, creative vibe. You are pushed to do great work, not just do what others have done. It can be hard, but my portfolio shows the hard work.

Cons

You will have to pull some long hours when big projects are due, but most times I'm leaving by 5pm.
