Pros

"Baptism by Fire" - you will learn a ton, because you have to. You will have very little guidance or direction. You will pretty much have to figure out everything on your own beginning Day 1. You will be better because of it.

Cons

Extremely high turnover rate. No one has lasted longer than 6 months at this company. Management is horrible. They frequently scream at, curse out, and embarrass their employees. The most high stress environment I've ever seen/been in/worked in. You are not valued, and management will make sure to tell you that. Everyone is replaceable. Clients are always unhappy. This agency is constantly losing accounts due to overpraising and under delivering.

Pros

I've been working with TARA, Ink for many years. First as an employee and later as a freelancer because I relocated. If you are smart, open to direction and have good energy it is the best firm to learn the ropes!

Cons

Negative employees, long hours but that is what comes with the industry itself.

Pros

Remote, quick hiring process, nothing else

Cons

I have never worked for a company that felt so disorganized and unprofessional. The interview process was extremely brief and did not provide a clear understanding of the role or company expectations. After being hired, I was assigned to work under someone who provided little to no guidance on processes or procedures. While I was able to learn independently, I observed that interns and entry-level employees received virtually no formal training or support. The workplace culture was also highly negative. Communication often felt toxic, and employees were frequently blamed for issues outside of their control, while management appeared unwilling to take accountability for mistakes. In my experience, there was a lack of professionalism and respect in how staff were treated. My employment was terminated through a very short phone call, during which I was told there might be a temporary opportunity available in the future. However, just minutes later, I received an email confirming my termination. The process felt abrupt and inconsistent.I also had concerns about the company's internal practices and leadership. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this workplace to those seeking a supportive, organized, and professional environment.
