A complete joke of an "agency"

Pros

While the new leadership is showing signs of movement in a positive direction, if we look back in history, we all have little faith that the current leader will actually be around long enough to implement any of the changes or vision he's talking about. While we can attract a mixture of good people who seemingly know what they're doing and who come from good companies, the moment they start looking around, they immediately head towards the exit. It's a sad, but ongoing pattern.

Cons

With our combination of revolving door "good people", and top heavy shifting senior leadership team who frequently throws temper tantrums, there's no sense of stability here. Because of deference to bad managers who are still under contract, the majority of staff is currently lined up outside of HR's office to resign, to complain or to cry. I have no faith in the people who lead, who sit at the holding company level nor in the new business "machine" or lack there of. How are we supposed to grow and be self-sufficient if we rely on Japan to hand us clients?

Pros

People at Dentsu love what they do. Dentsu America is a small office with a large-network backbone. Everyone is helpful, friendly, and informative.

Cons

We could use a cafeteria.
