Pros

Co-op values and structure; owning our future together; working with amazing partners on projects that have real-world influence.

Cons

Working with charities means we see the many ays the world is broken through our work, but we also get to help change that; worth reflecting that because we work for charities, budgets are not what they might be in the corporate sector, that has impacts on factors internally.

Pros

As a not-for-profit co-op everything we do is for the same aim, to be the best digital agency for the third sector. Everyone has shared ownership of what this looks like and although we disagree on the how sometimes it's always with the best intentions. This is the first place where I've experienced management being their to support their works do great work rather than just telling them what to do. The difference it makes in the day to day running and how it build a positive environment can not be understated.

Cons

This shape of company is very rare but we're still a digital agency and combining the 2 isn't easy and can cause issues. We also have a tendency to reinvent the wheel because people are always trying to do what's best. Perfect is the enemy of good is a phase that best describes it.

Pros

Meaningful work, great partnerships with interesting charities, a passionate team, fun to work with, not too formal. Everyone is focussed on looking after each other, everyone is happy to leap in and help - everyone wants everyone else to succeed (unless they're playing boardgames against you - in which case, good luck!)

Cons

Working on such a variety of projects and jumping between projects a lot can be a lot of context to keep up with.
