160over90

With clients like Ferrari and Nike, 160over90 has quickly established itself as one of Philly’s boldest and fastest growing advertising firms. The company certainly works its creatives hard to create such killer content, but the employees say that makes it like one big, hard-working family — and that there’s plenty of room to advance if you’re willing to take risks and put in the time. Employees who work after 8pm are given free dinner, staff can take volunteer service leave, and the dress code is pretty lax. Salaries are on par with average, but employees report that those who work hard are rewarded. So be prepared to be an active, contributing member of the team, and you can be a part of this Philly firm’s rapid rise to the top of your field.

AmerisourceBergen

If you’re looking to join a Fortune500 rising star, AmerisourceBergen was number 16 in 2015 and currently handles around 30% of the world’s pharmaceutical needs… and that’s not a level of success built on the backs of unhappy employees. The staff at all levels in Philly are offered a dry cleaning service, fitness classes, tuition reimbursement for continuing education, and benefits are competitive — as are the salaries. With so many levels of employees (16,000 with 900 local in Philadelphia), pay ranges pretty widely, but the staff seems pretty darn happy with their environment and lifestyle.

Fame House

At Fame House, the cool factor is pretty off the charts — they’re heading up digital marketing campaigns for the likes of Maroon 5, Eminem, and Pearl Jam through branding, social marketing, website development, online advertising and e-commerce. If you’re not interested in outside-of-the-box innovation or staff Mario Kart tournaments, don’t bother applying because this House is certainly excited about radical creativity. Employees report that the health and dental plans are fantastic, there is flexibility to work from home if needed, and salaries are fairly competitive with plenty of room for growth for those who are willing to put in the energy. So if you want to go places in the music industry, bring your best digital marketing ideas and apply.
