Pros

- Clear mission to help entrepreneurs achieve their dreams - Some smart staff members that truly want to make a difference - Some departments really love it and have fun. Sounds too good to be true...

Cons

The agency grew too fast. Company wide lay-offs and people leaving have been a common recent memory. There is a gross lack of transparency and most are very on edge about the probability of being let go. It has gotten so grim and the difference between this year and last year is dramatic. Upper management constantly wasting money despite struggling to be profitable. This company has unfortunately made so many bad financial decisions that destroyed the organization. Lots of inexperienced staff members with big titles. Too much focus on creating a positive public perception of the agency instead of good client work. CEO constantly changes the company direction which causes major confusion and anxiety. I could go on much more but the disappointment is really hard to talk about.

Common Thread Collective Response

We appreciate your feedback and especially candor on our transparency. 2019 was undoubtedly a learning year for CTC and with that comes change. Your experience through our change was turbulent at best, trust when I say that is far from what we strive for. We aim for transparency at company wide meetings and financial responsibilities should have been clearly connected to what that meant for our employees. Our hope — thanks to responses like yours — is to never mislead where we are and where we’re going again.

Pros

Common Thread Collective is extremely transparent on how they treat their clients and their employees. They want to make sure us as employee's or clients needs are met whether its our dreams and goals or our mental health as those directly impact the outcome of the companies goals. Basically it's the coolest ad agency around and I couldn't imagine working for any other company!!!!

Cons

Honestly I don't think CTC comes with any con's!

Pros

I've worked in many industries and at several different brands/agencies and I've never come across a place like this. The partners treat everyone like entrepreneurs and push incredibly hard for us to accomplish our dreams. We work with rad clients and get to develop several different skills and traits. The culture is incredible and it's clear that the hiring process focuses on great people who work really hard. I've made several new best friends since working here. We are growing like crazy but it still feels like family.

Cons

Honestly, none, We work a ton but I don't see anyone complaining. We all really love being around each other.
