Hard work, but should pay off.
Digital Marketing Manager:
Pros: Since my job is with a start-up, my decisions have an impact and work matters. I have also had the ability to rise quickly, given the small company size and relatively flat organizational structure. I have gained experience is basically every single aspect of marketing, from email to affiliate, SEO and more. I have also been exposed to the world of data analysis, which feels like a natural fit and is something I wouldn't have thought to explore without this job. This job is a great mix of my marketing skills gained from my undergrad, my natural inclination towards using numbers to find answers, and my outgoing personality/people skills. I enjoy my coworkers as well.
Cons: I have been spread very thin, and been treated as the "catch all" for jobs others don't want, or consider beneath them. I have been stuck with office administrator duties, some customer support, a little bit of investor relations, etc. I would prefer to be able to focus on just marketing and data analysis so that I can hone my skills, but instead I have to spend a lot of my day doing medial tasks that are necessary for the office to keep running smoothly. Corporate culture is not a priority at all here, and it is very obvious, which is a negative for me.
