Pluspunten

Message Agency is an excellent case study in operating based on your values. They are far more than branding or fluff to fill a website. The firm repeatedly makes decisions in the interest of their employees, their clients, and the planet, often at the expense of profit. The team and quality of work are both exceptional, and far better than you will find in most agency environments. Management is extremely flexible with employee needs like schedules or assignments.

Minpunten

This is not a "capital A" Agency. Client budgets are constrained, and they often lack the capacity needed for your most ambitious ideas or strategies. As a small firm that works with non-profits, there is a trade off in terms of salary, though not nearly as great as you would expect given their commitment to employees. This also means slower career progression in terms of title, but you will get exposure and work experience that is applicable in any context. HR is a combination of in-house and outsourced, which is fine but can cause delays or confusion in admin tasks.

Pluspunten

Small size allows employees to gain experience in a variety of areas. Can get hands-on experience, especially as a new or young professional.

Minpunten

It's interesting how many of the negative reviews posted here have been taken down or removed. I came to Message Agency looking forward to working for an organization that worked for local non-profits and organizations committed to doing good in the community. The client roster lived up to my expectations, but Message Agency as an organization did not. In the past year, over 50% of the agency quit. During most of my time there, most of the team members were good people. All of the negativity around working for Message Agency is directly due to Management practices. There is a S trong culture of distrust, and a complete lack of commitment to employee well-being. There is a complete lack of professionalism. Every bit of feedback or unique opinion that differs from Management's is taken personally, and met with an almost aggressively defensive stance. For Management, business is personal (see actual articles quoting them on the topic), which is good in theory, but not in practice when they cannot separate the personal from the professional. I could go on, but the one remaining negative review seems to cover everything I would have said. I will leave it at this: I could not in good conscience recommend Message Agency as a good place to work, period.
