As the newest Genie on the block, I share the freshest perspective on why working at Gossip Genie rocks. Today marked my 10th week as our Director of Social Media, so I thought I’d share my 10 favorite things about working at this dynamic digital agency so far.
1. There’s no shortage of puppy love.
We have a dog-friendly office which means that there’s never a dull moment at the Gossip Genie HQ. Alfie Liberman, Dre Peper and Chewy Rosenberg keep things interesting and make the Genies smile on a regular basis.
2. We never miss a lunch together.
No matter what’s going on in the office, we always take a break to eat lunch together. It’s such a simple gesture that makes getting through the work week so much more enjoyable. Not only does it make our team closer, but it makes us more energized when we get back to our desks.
3. We work from home twice a week.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, the Genies switch bottles and work remotely. Whether it’s in their home or at a coffee shop, the change of pace makes the week fly by. It also empowers them to find great new workspaces around the city!
4. We’re based in a booming neighborhood in Lincoln Park.
Between the brand new New City Mall and the plethora of shops and restaurants, there’s no shortage of places to hang around after work. We’re actually embarrassed to mention how regularly we visit the new Mariano’s…
5. There’s plenty (edit: too much) food stocked up in the fridges and cabinets.
Rest assured, no one goes hungry in this office. From weekly donut runs to homemade snacks, there’s plenty of brain food to choose from. And did we mention the bulk deliveries of LaCroix Sparkling Water?!
6. The staff cares about each other.
From birthdays to engagements to “Genie-versarys,” the team always remembers to honor and celebrate each other. They’re also there to support each other when times get tough.
7. We’re encouraged to be creative.
Each Genie brings something different to the table and that’s something we’re excited about. From photography to lettering to fashion styling, there’s no passion that won’t be encouraged.
8. Our Clients are wonderful.
Gossip Genie is proud to work with so many incredible organizations. And everyone agrees, the best part of the job is getting to know the amazing people behind each organization.
9. Our CEO and Founder totally “gets it.”
Our CEO, Jacqui, understands the importance of spending time with family and friends. The Genies know they can always come to her if they need time away or a day to breathe.
10. We deliver excellent work and we’re darn proud of it.
Enough said.
