Pros

1. Everyone who works there, outside of leadership and management, are wonderful, hardworking, kind people. 2. That's all.

Cons

Where do I begin. Toxic is the first word that comes to mind. I've never felt more undervalued and micromanaged than I did while working at Rocket55. Here are some specifics: -Zero work/life balance. Employees are asked to be available even when on PTO. The amount of calls I would get from the CEO on a Saturday or Sunday was enough to make my anxiety spike through the roof. -They hire people into leadership with absolutely ZERO prior management experience, causing serious toxicity and favoritism. -Clients are often left unsatisfied more often than not. This is due to the fact that Rocket grossly overworks and underpays their employees. -As an Account Manager it is expected that you take the blame for any and all miscommunications, mistakes, missed deadlines, and unsatisfactory work. The pressure that is put on this team is eventually going to burn them all out, which has happened before, leaving Rocket with a crazy high turnover rate. -Micromanagement is their bread and butter. Every minute of the expected 40+ hour week is expected to be documented, otherwise employees are questioned. -If clients are unhappy, they immediately look to their employees to place blame. -Raises are promised, never given (unless it's to leadership or management.) Bottom line: If you want to work for a company that values you and genuinely cares about your wellbeing, don't work here. This review may seem harsh and bitter, but my hope is that this will help someone avoid having to go through what I and so many others went through.

Pros

People genuinley care, are friendly, collaborative, and passionate about the work. It feels like a place where your contributions actually matter.

Cons

The digital marketing industry is going through a real shift right now, and there have been some missteps as the company tries to reinvent itself and adapt. But the intent is clearly good and leadership genuinely cares about getting it right.

Pros

Some good employees and managers who tried their best to protect staff from upper leadership. A lot of genuinely talented people have either left or been pushed out over the years. The office dogs were also one of the few bright spots until employees were misled about them still being allowed after the office move.

Cons

This company operates on fear, politics, and image management. It’s one of those workplaces where you slowly stop trusting your own judgment because dysfunction becomes so normalized internally. You are not encouraged to ask questions, challenge decisions, or speak openly unless your opinion aligns with leadership. To survive here, many employees learn to stay quiet because it is far easier than dealing with the reaction or fallout that can come from disagreement. Transparency is almost nonexistent, and communication from leadership often feels evasive, contradictory, or intentionally misleading. HR does not feel neutral or safe, which only adds to the discomfort. The overall culture feels emotionally reactive, unpredictable, and heavily dependent on staying in leadership’s good graces. The strangest part is that many employees do not fully realize how unhealthy the environment is until after they leave. Once you experience a functional workplace elsewhere, the difference becomes very obvious.
