Why We Think You'll Love Working Here
AdShark has earned the coveted reputation of one of the best places to work in Fargo - and it’s not because we can compete on every front with the big dogs. It’s because we’ve created a workplace that our employees love being a part of.
- Flexibility: We allow employees to set their own hours and define their schedule. While we set some expectations for working hours within a week, ultimately it’s up to each employee to manage their workloads how they see fit. We even have an Unlimited PTO policy that gives our staff all the days off they could want.
- Transparency: Our employees all have access to monthly one-on-ones with their manager, quarterly one-on-ones with our Director of Operations, and yearly one-on-ones with our CEO. We even publish our leadership team notes for the entire company to see. This keeps everyone in on the conversation of “what’s going on at AdShark?”
- Growth: Every employee has a Career Path Chart that provides a concrete path to rise within the company. We actively aim for our staff members to grow in their roles and blaze new trails as they see fit.
- Parties: Our team likes to have fun and loves hanging out with each other. We have routine happy hours, monthly after-work events, frequent team lunches and potlucks, and that’s just a start! We’re always finding new ways to celebrate with one another and even invite team members to bring their friends and family along for the ride too.
- Community Connection: AdShark loves supporting the Fargo-Moorhead area. We do so with sponsorships, donations, volunteering, speaking engagements, and more. You’re welcome to join in if you’d like and play a role in our outbound efforts — but there’s no pressure either.
- Pay & Benefits: We offer a competitive pay and benefits package. While salary depends on experience, we offer benefits including health, dental, vision, retirement, and unlimited PTO. We do yearly profit-sharing for all employees which is a great added bonus for your hard work!
