Pros

Joining the team means joining a class of digital marketers that show up and work hard. You always feel like there's someone who can help get the job done at a high level. The creative talent is unquestionable. Welcomes young talent and a decent place to start a career in digital marketing.

Cons

2020 was a terrible year for Vital. At the beginning of the COVID pandemic, they laid off 20% of their workforce (some employees fired who were hired that week) overnight via email without notice and failed to communicate how or why. For a company that has such inconsistent influx of work, they have hire a lot of new employees irresponsibly. The amount of turnover then isn't such a mystery, but it is a reflection on the terrible decisions made at the top.

Pros

- Lots of talented people - A leadership team and HR department that is passionate about the employees and not just its clients - Leadership is transparent about their goals and the problems they're actively trying to solve for the company - One of the most stable agencies I've seen.

Cons

- Not much mobility unless you start at an entry-level role, but this is pretty common with agencies - Client verticals are pretty dry industries - Don't expect leadership to adapt to new ideas unless they come to the conclusions themselves. Changing methods to meet the evolving marketing landscape is a six-month waiting game at best.
