Great Workplace - Intern Mojo Active Employee Review

I've worked for several other agencies outside of this area, and MoJo Active is a breath of fresh air. It's hard to believe the quality of work that's coming out of Watsontown, PA! There is a very laid-back management style and culture here. This is probably something that would be easily taken for granted, if you haven't ever experienced a toxic work environment in your career. Not to say it's perfect (there is no such thing), but it's pretty darn close. There is a work/hard play/hard mentality, which makes it easy to thrive here if you have a strong work ethic. Regardless of how fast we move (it's a deadline-driven business afterall), we have a lot of fun along the way. Ownership is working really hard to get the right team members, with the right skill sets into the right seats on the bus to take MoJo Active to the next level. They have a plan, and it's easy to envision how things will take off for us when all the pieces are aligned. We're positioned for greatness, with only a few more things to button up. It's an exciting time to work here!

Internal communication lacks at times, but that's been a struggle everywhere I've ever worked. Some of this I attribute to the fast-pace environment of an agency. Also, pay and benefits are a bit lower than I'm used to, but I know those things will get elevated as the business grows. For prospective employees, if you've never worked in an agency before you may have a hard time adjusting to the pace here. And, if you're lazy, don't bother applying. This is not the place for you.

There are some great employees here. They also have some great clients. There are a few unicorns who do great work. Most are very nice.

CEO listed no longer CEO. New owners can't lead. One is a narcissistic micromanager, the other is passive aggressive. Neither provide direction or leadership. No transparency. No positive feedback. No company growth plan. Rude and ineffective. Don't follow own rules. Horrible company culture. No time to train or learn. No work life balance. Constant chaos. No balanced schedule. Everything is high priority. Shifting responsibilities. Average health insurance for above average cost. Raises don't meet cost of living. Bonuses are small. No career path. Below average PTO. Sick time is from PTO. Below average pay and well above average expectations. Things not told in the hiring process: on call 24x7x365, responsibilities won't match job description, use your own credit card and accounts to test, use your own cell phone and plan to keep up with company business without stipend, be available anytime for any communication, drop what you're doing at any time to do something else and then get asked why the original thing isn't done, make up for other people not doing their job indefinitely, expect to get berated for any mistake or for asking questions, no constructive criticism just criticism.
