private:seventhpoint https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=217848 Mar 26th, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Seventh Point Very Happy Here Really great group of people, relaxed environment, encourages community involvement, really passionate employees, generous time off policy, a lot of encouragement to push yourself past your "standard" job title and evolve as an employee. You won't do well here if your goal is to show up, do your bare minimum job requirement, and go home. They want you to be innovative and to constantly be pushing yourself forward. If you're not passionate about the job and just watching for the clock to hit 5:30, this is not the environment for you. The people who succeed are the ones who care and want to learn and grow. It's an enthusiastic group of people who have a lot of love for the advertising business. Be prepared to collaborate and use your head. Laziness and indifference really don't make the cut here. Sometimes your work day can get really busy, really quickly. But that's pretty standard across all advertising agencies. There have been certain managers in the past that have created a rather stressful and negative work environment. The most recent correction of powers has fixed this and alleviated a lot of stress. I can see how certain past employees could be bitter about the previous environment, especially the ones working directly under that supervisor, but it has been a much more positive experience since they changed things around. 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 0.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 4.0 5.0 217848 Open 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 2.0 Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Seventh Point Consumer Services Media
private:seventhpoint https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=217848 Dec 20th, 2017 12:00AM Open Open Seventh Point Account Executive False Advertising for their own company Flexible schedule/PTO, fun work events overworked, underpaid, disorganized, cast blame on those lower on the totem pole, misogynistic. First, I'd like to point out any of the reviews you read that are highly-rated and well-written stem from a period of time when the company had each employee write a positive review to help inflate their ratings. Note the ones that all say "current employee" and are posted from 2014 - those are the ones that management had us write. There is likely not one former employee or long-standing employee that would have positive things to say unless they were one of the golden boys. Second, don't believe a word they say. They have done the same thing over and over again for 30 years now. Grow, fall apart, rebuild. And by rebuilding, they fire everyone from the top down (that isn't one of the white male VPs) that makes more than a regular sales base salary at most companies. Then overwork all the women who are actually making the company operate and hire some other people at the bare minimum/hourly wages. They are known around the Virginia Beach area among agencies as "the sweat shop." Third, while there is great opportunity to learn and grow (in your knowledge-base - certainly not salary), everyone is fighting their way to the top so they'll use any useful information shared for their own well-being. If you're trying to grow in your career, you have to force the conversation, and then won't be taken seriously with much documentation for reasoning of a raise. Fourth, prepare for a toxic environment of working way too much for way too little. Be told you have unlimited PTO, but shunned for taking it. Do your best, but be known for your worst. Secret conversations all around you, even if you have intuition. No good management, no HR department, no clear direction of your job or where the company is going. Fifth, get out while you still can. -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 DISAPPROVE 3.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 2.0 2.0 1.0 217848 Open Give it up. You have the creativity necessary for an advertising company, but you don't understand business. You've already started to rebuild again, but maybe quit while you're ahead this time. 0.0 [] REGULAR No No 4.0 Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Seventh Point Consumer Services Media
private:seventhpoint https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=217848 Dec 15th, 2017 12:00AM Open Open Seventh Point Account Executive Virginia Beach, VA A draining and infuriating experience Occasional free food, spacious office, casual time off policy. Run, don’t walk. This is a toxic, misogynist culture with no HR department, no professional development, no performance reviews, no clear roles, no defined work hours. Honestly, you’ll never know who you are working for or what you’ll be held responsible for if something goes wrong. There is a culture of finger-pointing and blame shifting, especially when a client leaves. The turnover will give you whiplash. There is rotating cast (every 2-3 years) of overpaid white male VPs. Women are not taken seriously, despite the fact that young, entry-level women keep this place running. You will never see a woman in a leadership role; it’s not even on the table. Aside from the owner and one VP, who are constantly infighting, no one lasts. Every wave of exits is followed by a period of “rebuilding” and a narrative that they’ve finally figured it out this time—a fresh start! Don’t buy it. They use this messaging when interviewing. People leave bitter. If you are interviewing (and this place is often hiring!) reach out to a current or former employee on LinkedIn. I can’t think of a single ex-employee who would speak highly of their experience. -1.0 NEGATIVE 0.0 NEUTRAL -1.0 DISAPPROVE 3.0 2.0 4.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 217848 Open 0.0 [] REGULAR No No 4.0 Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Seventh Point Consumer Services Media

Great location. Great building. Chris is a great leader with great vision Top Heavy. Management has a revolving door of golden boys. It is fully expected that as an employee you will work late nights and weekends and your manager sees fit without compensation. -1.0 NEGATIVE 0.0 NEUTRAL 1.0 2.0 1.0 4.0 2.0 3.0 2.0 217848 Open 0.0 [] REGULAR No No 4.0 Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Seventh Point Consumer Services Media
private:seventhpoint https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=217848 Nov 25th, 2014 12:00AM Open Open Seventh Point I've always wanted to work in an advertising agency... I like the autonomy I have with Seventh Point. My supervisors have faith in me and believe in my skills and let me do my job. The employees are really nice and I enjoy working with them. If you are someone that needs a lot of direction or needs to be told what to focus on, then this is not the place for you. There are not a lot of formal procedures for coming on board so sometimes, you don't know all the policies and rules so you just have to ask. 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 0.0 4.0 3.0 5.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 217848 Open The company is spread out and has staff in different areas of the country so I think a bit more global email updates, new employee introductions and general communication would help those "outside" people feel more involved. 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 2.0 Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Seventh Point Consumer Services Media
private:seventhpoint https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=217848 Nov 7th, 2014 12:00AM Open Open Seventh Point Growth Potential, Ahead of the Curve, Hands On There are almost no limitations to what you can do here. Management is very flexible and open to new ideas, and the leadership provides education, mobility, and cross-department collaboration for employees. The addition of programmatic buying, which no other marketing firm in Virginia is doing, really sets them apart. New clients are rolling in, and new hires are coming in to handle the extra business. Offices tend to wall people off a bit - it would be nice to have a more open environment. Work-life balance can be a little tricky depending on the department, but they are great about letting employees work from home if they stay productive. 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 0.0 5.0 3.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 4.0 217848 Open Make people report on their training with everyone within one week of returning from education events.

private:seventhpoint https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=217848 Sep 17th, 2014 12:00AM Open Open Seventh Point Senior Account Executive Virginia Beach, VA A Fabulous Growth Experience Although I've worked for another advertising agency in the past, I wasn't given the opportunity to learn and grow like I have here. The other members of the Seventh Point staff have been extremely supportive of all endeavors to expand beyond the traditional constraints of my position. As a matter of fact, traditional roles for everyone are constantly being tested, which leads to a very well cross-trained and adaptive staff. The benefits of this for both employees and the clients of the agency is a true team approach to problem solving. This might not be the place for you if you want to work for an agency with traditional roles and titles. 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 0.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 217848 Open 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 4.0 Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Seventh Point Consumer Services Media
private:seventhpoint https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=217848 Aug 29th, 2014 12:00AM Open Open Seventh Point Account Executive Virginia Beach, VA Truly a TEAM Seventh Point is the kind of place where I can take one of my colleagues to another job or employer and make the impact of hiring 5 people there. I'm constantly amazed at how focused, creative, and hard-working my team at Seventh Point is. Chris Calcagno, president of the agency, is willing to adapt and change to the new landscape of advertising and marketing, and his cool head and smart thinking have led this agency the right way for over 30 years. I kind of wish we had fish in our fountain. That's the only "con" I can think of. 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 0.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 217848 Open 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 2.0 Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Seventh Point Consumer Services Media

Can't think of a single one Too many to list but here are are a few: - Agency is run by committee and they are never on the same page - Nobody is really in charge on a consistent basis - Decisions are made and then changed depending on the flavor of the koolaid that day - Communication on the daily is terrible or non-existent - No loyalty to employees at all other than to top management and that's not even a given since they're always bickering among themselves - They've been steadily losing clients for years and have had multiple layoffs - No new business initiative other than re-doing their website constantly and hoping that will work - They lie and make promises they don't keep - They can't figure out what kind of an agency they are... full service? specialty? whatever the client wants and will pay for? - Nobody that has worked there would ever go back -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE 3.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 217848 Open Wouldn't do any good 0.0 [] REGULAR No No 2.0 Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Apr 18th, 2021 07:53PM Seventh Point Consumer Services Media
private:seventhpoint https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=217848 Sep 2nd, 2013 12:00AM Open Open Seventh Point Virginia Beach, VA Initially, everything seems wonderful...but that does not last long. You get agency experience and the office space is conveniently located to lots of great restaurants and easy to access. There is plenty of parking. The in-house communication is horrible. Decisions are made, but don't make it to the other staff working on the projects - or - one executive will contradict another and staff is left trying to figure out what to do. The company is led by 3 men, and owned by another who is rarely there. Two of the 3 VP's demonstrate that chauvinism is alive and well in the male of the species. The other is severely sleep deprived as a result of trying to keep all of the projects on track. The creative that is developed is stale, but not from the lack of talent...executives want their ideas on the drawing board. If you can blindly follow the leadership, you'll be fine. -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE 2.0 2.0 3.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 1.0 217848 Open Involving the entire team in the decision making process would be helpful if you want to keep your clients.
