Pros

It is great coming to work every day with people who actually care about their jobs and the success of this company. Screen Pilot works hard and plays hard, and management tries to make the office a fun place to spend time. There are video games when you aren't working, a kitchen stocked with snacks/drinks/food, and beer on Fridays. When management promises resources, they are delivered on (which has not been the norm in my past jobs). Salaries are fair for an agency, and you are also given funds for personal growth passion projects. You are also given PTO days for volunteering, and management has just announced plans for a 401k and other benefits additions. Rather than having cubes, everyone is set up in an open seating arrangement which fosters a lot of collaboration and discussion. It is nice to work somewhere that you can see the outcome of your work, and be recognized for it. A successful employee here has to be self-motivated and organized because no one is micro-managing you which is great, but if you need a lot of hand-holding this isn't the place for you. Overall, a very rewarding place to work.

Cons

The only cons are having to juggle priorities since this is a smaller agency with limited resources. Things will get done, but you have to be patient. I am confident that as we grow, our resources will grow with us so I don't see this as that significant of a negative. The company also doesn't get certain holidays off that are commonly observed.

Our core values are precious to us and not something that we will deflect from or dilute. It's in the fiber of who we are and why we do what we do. As it relates to Holidays, prior to asking for team submissions to Glass Door, we had already revised the 2016 calendar to align the only single Holiday that was not recognized. We fully intend to recruit severely passionate people moving forward that fit our culture.

Pros

I really enjoyed working at SP. Leadership is great and really values employees, their ideas, and their growth. They treat their employees with importance, they are more than just a number. The company culture is excellent, everyone is extremely hard working and dedicated to their work. Monthly happy hours are hosted by SP and are a good time to relax and connect with coworkers. This company is really innovative and always staying ahead of the curve.

Cons

Lack of work/life balance was ultimately the reason I left.

Pros

If you're young, just getting started in your career and looking to build your skills in the following, this is a great job for you. - Campaign creation & management - Budgeting & allocations across paid media channels - Client communication & relationship building

Cons

The company is very young. Most employees (apx. 80%) have been there 3 years or less joining the company either straight from college graduation or after 1 job, (they built team back up after pandemic), & most all employees have been promoted within (and up the ladder in a very short period of time). It seems like most promotions happened out of necessity, not because those individuals were overly skilled or developed in their career. Most individuals in leadership or management roles don't have the right training and this is their first time leading a team. And management styles are vastly different across the teams and departments. Great at your job? Expect your work load to increase without plans for growth or raises. And delegation is handed out without reasoning or conversation.
