Elite Digital Inc.

Work Expectations: You're expected to work for 7.5 hours a day with minimal downtime. Some team members are supportive and create a sense of belonging, but others negatively impact the company culture.

Projects and accounts: Projects are often underestimated and under-budgeted, and they lack active leadership. Account Managers (AMs) and Project Managers (PMs) are the backbone of the company.

Compensation and Reviews: Salaries are below average, and performance reviews are delayed with only mediocre raises.

Personnel Churn: There's a high turnover rate across various positions, from PMs and AMs to creative professionals, developers, and even leadership team members.

Job Security: Job security is uncertain, with a lackluster outlook. A large portion of employees lasting 6-12 months.

Leadership: Some leaders, like the CEO, DM Lead, and Head of Health, are knowledgeable, but others are unprofessional or unethical.

Processes: The company's processes frequently change, causing confusion and making it difficult to determine the "right" way to do things.

Short-Sighted Leadership: Leadership is short-sighted, cuts corners, and the company is characterized by chaos and disorganization, negatively impacting the business outlook.

Client Work: You enjoy working with clients from various industries and find the work interesting and challenging.

Office and Company Events: The office and company events are enjoyable and fun.

In summary, my experience at this company is a mix of positives, such as interesting client work and enjoyable office events, and several negatives, including issues with projects, compensation, job security, and company culture. Any person joining should  weigh these factors and consider whether the positive aspects outweigh the negatives. 

When I was job hunting, I ended up with offers from two different agencies. Both seemed really good, and I was so stressed about the decision. In the end I chose to work at Elite mostly because of the people I had encountered during the interview process and the clients they had.

Let me just say, I am so incredibly happy I made this choice!

It turns out that I didn't just meet a good batch of people during my interview process, somehow everyone at this company is so friendly, caring and has a positive attitude. I'm sure there must be some bad apples somewhere, but I haven't crossed paths with them yet.

The work I get to do on a daily basis is rewarding and I get to tackle projects for some pretty cool brands. The client roster is very impressive and I love that I get to work on brands from so many different industries. My friends at other companies tend to do the same thing, but I get tasks from all sorts of different industries. Plus it's nice to work on both big national brands and small local businesses.

I do want to give a shout out to my manager and the executive team. They really care about me and the whole "Elite Family". When I tell my friends about the kind of things that happen at Elite, they are so jealous.

The company is not perfect, and I don't want to make it seem like there are no flaws. But, management is open to hearing about it and always takes proactive steps to make things better. Not always overnight, but it's clear they are listening and acting upon what they hear, which is refreshing.

I wanted to work in marketing with a focus on digital, but I also wanted to work for a company that had a great culture. I didn't want to just co-exist with my colleagues, I wanted them to be my friends. I wanted people I'd look forward to seeing every day to work on projects I was eager to take on.

Elite Digital delivered all that and more.

Prior to starting I had heard great things, and I was a bit skeptical. But, once I was welcomed into the "Elite Family", it was clear that this place is something unique.

Everyone is super friendly and willing to take time to help you. There are still people I don't know in other departments, but everyone I do know is a down to earth great person.

Management really cares about the staff, which is refreshing to see. The CEO clearly cares a lot about all the people who work for him, which is something I haven't seen anywhere else. He is also very approachable.

I get to work on very interesting projects from a diverse range of clients. I'm always learning something new, which is what motivates me.

Sometimes I have to face very tight deadlines, but that is agency life, so I'm used to it.

Overall, this is everything I'm looking for in an agency and a workplace. Even if there are a few stressful days, that is far outweighed by all the great days and the wonderful people I get to spend time with.

I have now worked at three different marketing agencies, and Elite is the best one by far.

The number one reason, the people.

The culture is fantastic and way better than what I've experienced elsewhere. Everyone, across every department, is always so friendly and eager to help.

I made more friends at Elite (who I see on the weekends) than I did anywhere else. I cannot say enough good things about the really great group of people.

Yes, the work is rewarding, and the client list is impressive. I do find I learn a lot, and feel supported by management.

But the real point of this review is to let everyone else know that if culture is important to you, and you're looking for a great group of like-minded cool people, then Elite Digital has that covered.

An open, fast paced, collaborative workplace where talent meets opportunity. Staff are encouraged to give feedback so that the office and clients benefit from a multitude of ideas, creativity, solutions, options and experience. The client list is varied and continues to grow as do the challenges and collaboration to work towards solutions as a team. The office itself is set up for maximum creativity with couches, themed meeting rooms, an indoor park with picnic tables, muskoka chairs and hammock chairs to encourage everyone to work together whatever their comfort level. It's a unique space, a unique company and it's filled with an ecliptic mix of very talented people.

A great group of people, doing their best to make a company great. Unfortunately the pay is mediocre for the work we do. Flex hours is a nice idea, however the chargeable hours expectations are lofty to say the least. Even if it's a 37.5 hour work week expect to work quite a bit more to hit your targets. The staff are really the gold in this mine, they put their heart into what they do and they really step up. Monthly outings, lunches, games, and a fun environment help keep you smiling.  

I had worked at another agency before Elite, and it's like night and day. I finally found the culture I was looking for. The people here are great. The other people in my immediate department are all awesome, literally all of them.

Managment really cares about everyone. They talk about the Elite Family, but they really mean it. Especially while we all lived through the covid pandemic, it was clear just how much our management team cared about us compared to what I saw at other companies. They went the extra mile at every step.

There is a lot of work, and the days are action packed. But, without a doubt, this is where I want to be.

Elite has been through several changes since I first started. The changes have made them better than my first year at Elite from management, processes and company culture. Elite has also played a big role in my growth and development. I moved into a few positions and I can say that today, I am in a position that gives a feeling of fulfillment I didn’t have in my previous positions. For that, I am truly grateful for the upper management team investing in me and seeing my potential.

After working at several different agencies, I found that Elite had the best balance in terms of work and advancement opportunties as well as a friendly, fun, and collaborative culture. All the employees are so warm and welcoming, that you'll feel like you've known them forever within your first week. The owners are very easy to talk to and always open to new ideas and suggestions on how to make the company experience a lot better. Definitely worth the insane commute from downtown ;-)
