Great Work Environment - Senior Account Coordinator Metzger Associates Employee Review

MAPRagency, formerly Metzger Associates, is a boutique PR agency with offices in Boulder and Denver. If you are a career-oriented individual who wants direct access to the CEO--which is unusual even in smaller agencies--then MAPR is the place for you. When I worked at MAPR I was able to gain valuable PR experience in a variety of emerging tech fields—cybersecurity, cryptocurrency, agtech, IoT, real estate tech, to name a few—and was able to learn directly from our CEO, who has over 30 years of PR experience. MAPR has an in-house graphic designer, as well as a digital strategist, so if you are also interested in securing SEO or graphic design experience, MAPR will allow you to train in those fields. MAPR has a unique, fun company culture (quarterly events to celebrate the staff and holiday parties) and everyone operates as a team. The environment is fun and supportive. An added bonus: MAPR has a very generous PTO program (hint, it’s unlimited) and employees are offered two work from home days a month.

I only commuted to the Boulder office once a week, but sometime traffic on 36 would make the commute slightly longer than normal. The express lane is a great option, though, when traffic is higher than normal.

Working at Metzger Associates (now called MAPRagency), has been a very good experience for me. 1. Very supportive staff that jumps in if you ever have a question, need assistance or are on vacation, sick or have a personal emergency. 2. President Doyle Albee leads by example. He not only is working on getting business leads but also manages clients, plus, he is always networking. In my experience, he doesn't request anything of his employees that he hasn't done, doesn't currently do or wouldn't do himself. 3. Clients are mostly in the tech field, which, if that's your area of interest, you would enjoy it here. 4. Fun quarterly staff activities. 5. Full benefits package with 401K

It was a little hard to understand procedures and processes when first beginning because it is a small staff, everyone is working very hard for their clients and onboarding is minimal.
