Best Place I have EVER worked
|
|
Free lunch on Friday
Wear slippers in the office
Free fitness classes on Thursdays & Fridays
Leave early on Fridays year round
Competitive compensation
AMAZING Coworkers and management
Unlike other agencies, we almost always leave on time (5:30 PM)
Rarely have to work late and if we do our supervisors will let us know it is not only acceptable but encouraged to come in when ready for the day.
Upper management really cares about your career development and agency growth.
|
Might want to consider stricter employment verification protocols when hiring new employees.

Weird office rules putting you back in kindergarten (I.e. leave shoes at door, use lids on coffee cups, each employee has a schedule trash day)
It’s not a traditional agency, it’s very unorganized. You have people in higher up management roles who don’t have a lot of ad experience.
They have no expertise, not known for creativity, media, etc everything is subpar
Also be prepared to work 60 hour weeks working through the night when they have network drops, because organization and time management is not one of their strong points. And they don’t care if you are working on 2 hours of sleep, you are expected to show up for work at 8:30 even if you worked into the night until 4am.

Trust the bad reviews.
|
|
Some of the other employees are great, and you will bond over feeling miserable.
|
Trash duty (no joke) for new or "lower level" employees.
Everything else in the bad reviews are spot on.

It was my first internship and I had a fantastic experience!
|
|
Knowledgeable colleagues, cool atmosphere, interesting projects
|
The company has a small parking and if you choose to drive there, you will have to park on the street (which is common to Edgewater).

Doesn't Recommend
Negative Outlook
Disapproves of CEO
I worked at DXagency full-time
Pros
- Coworkers are young and fun to work with.
- Environment is great for on-the-job learning.
- Most of the clients there look good on a resume.
- Casual dress code.
- Coordinators and managers often get to try their hand at multiple areas, such as design and development in some cases. It's a great learning experience, but should normally be done by those departments.
- 401K
- The company matches 401K contributions.
- Free food on Fridays.
|
- Work/Life balance is poor. You spend many nights there until 7:30 - 8PM.
- The CEO also fulfills the role of HR, which is extremely inappropriate. There should be a separate person for HR at the very least.
- Coordinators and managers are often overworked and timelines are often rushed.
- Upper management often fails at guiding employees in the right direction for their given account.
- The company refuses to hire more than 50 people to avoid changes in corporate taxes, which limits the amount of people that could potentially be working on any given client.
- Nepotism in the office.
- Design and development teams are overworked, adding more pressure and stress to already rushed timelines. Management is unwilling to hire new talent at fair compensation when employees leave due to the unrealistic timelines or stress, leaving departments overworked.
- The company will often overlook real talent, leaving those employees stuck in the same position for years.
- When promotions do occur, employees will receive a minor pay raise, but they often end up doing the same work as everyone else in their department.
-- Most accounts are comprised of all managers doing the same work they did when they were entry level employees.
-- Design and development employees are simply given more work without any new leadership responsibilities.
- The internship program is passed along to a new employee to manage every few months, giving the program no real structure. Interns often end up doing menial, repetitive tasks because employees are overworked and lack the time to teach them anything.
- Coordinators, managers, and some directors are required to become skilled in multiple areas, such as design and development in some cases. Those tasks should normally be done by those departments.
- Large employee turnover in all departments.
- The company will hire new talent as an independent contractor, giving them the right to deny you benefits for anywhere from the first 6 - 12 months of your employment.
- Upper management cares very little about careers or development. They won't hesitate to let you go on a whim.
- No real opportunity for advancement past the first promotion.
- Poor compensation
- No overtime

Most importantly:
- Get a separate HR rep.
- Pay talent what it's worth.
- Hire enough employees to manage the workload in all departments.
- Then correct the other issues in the cons section.

A good start to the career
|
|
• Cool office space
• Catered lunch on Fridays
• Unlimited snacks & coffee
• Great learning environment
• Plenty of restaurants and eateries are within a 1 mile radius
|
• Non-existing HR dept
• Lack of structure and organization
• Low pay (some positions pay way below the median salary range)
• Setting unrealistic project deadlines
• Employees are overworked and burned out, sometimes requiring late hours to complete the task
• Long hours with no overtime pay
• Constantly working during non-office hours and weekends (clients should not be calling employees directly during the weekend)
• Job titles are meaningless. Promotions are handed out like candy
• No parking when the office is a full house
• Favoritism amongst employees
• Nepotism
• High employee turnover, creating low morale
• While an employee does gain skills and learning experience, there is no room for growth
• Using company resources for unnecessary projects

• First and foremost, need to make the key hires: HR manager, project manager, creative director.
• Cut the hours to 9:30-5:00. 9:30-6:30 is unheard of with other companies/agencies.
• Definitely invest in management training.
• Send employees to conferences/summits. They will gain knowledge and insight from different aspects of the industry.
• Offer incentives. Good way to lower the high turnover
• Dedicated parking spots
• Properly pay the employees
While DX is a great place to jumpstart your career, there are many aspects within the company that need improvement. Currently, the cons make employment there a short-term solution. Fix them and the company will become better.
