I love my job, my team and my manager. Unfortunately I don't think we're hiring. I also think the anonymous nature of this community makes it enticing to air those grievances and maybe embellish a bit as one vents. I'm sure it's not ALL doom and gloom.

NP Digital consistently wins best place to work and just won for AdAge 2024 list. Incredible benefits, true unlimited PTO without the guilt trip, super supportive team, 100% remote with no RTO coming and no layoffs to speak of in 2 years I think it is….honestly it’s the best place I’ve ever worked.

We are hiring for 2 account managers but they are for our Mexico and Canada locations. Definitely keep an eye on our careers page though!

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
