Pros

Coworkers. Everyone is very nice and helpful. At times, it felt like a family. But be aware, some people are fake and will blame you behind your back for problems. Got a few experience I can leverage to my next job.

Cons

No training program. Came in as an intern and there were no training materials set in place except to go online and read about Google Adwords. Multiple times, I reached out to see if there were some sort of projects I could help out but would get denied. The founder, Jon, just walks around and does nothing. There are favorites in the company and its pretty obvious you can tell who are being favored. My best advice to applicants, if you're wanting to get SEO or marketing experience, go ahead and give this company a shot so you have the experience to leverage on to your next job. I wouldn't recommend staying long because climbing up is based on annually, not on performance. You won't get that far.

Pros

Staff could potentially come in as junior digital marketers after college and grow their digital marketing skills and client communication chops very quickly. The Leadership Team was solid, but the market is shifting rapidly in digital marketing. They've since sold to Add3, another great local agency. Good combo for both companies!

Cons

The market and clients shift rapidly in digital marketing, so change is constant.

Pros

The biggest pro at Point It is the people (meaning colleagues, not management). You will work with a great group of people who care about eachother. They also offer competitive benefits and flexible schedules.

Cons

Prepare to be worked to the bone, with little appreciation from management. In an attempt to get rid of the long hours and frustration, management will throw busy work at you to see where your time is going-instead of trying to figure out the source of the problem. Management can't be trusted. When you speak up, you will be shot down. When you say something in confidence, know that the entire management team will know within minutes. People are promoted on an annual basis, and not based on performance. This can be very frustrating, since you may be working alongside someone with far less skill or real-world experience who will have the same title as you.
