Pros

Good entry level position to learn more about business and industry. You will learn the business and of store operations. You will meet people of all types in stores. Your will improve your communication skills as a result.

Cons

Communication moves up and down but not well side to side. During my time there I barely knew other people on the team. Manager reviews were too far apart. This should have been a yearly process. That being said, there was some turnover in the supervisor position during my tenure. During my final year there were no in-field work withs [Training & Development]. This was done about every six to eight weeks when I started. Supervisor span of control may have been to broad. Pay was low considering the high cost of living in the Washington, DC metro area.

Pros

Great company. Although laid off, we did get a severance package. Good PTO and flexibility.

Cons

I would suggest seeing if other positions within the company would be a good fit before laying off your good employees with no other options to keep them with the company.

Pros

There are pockets of talent and smarts on the creative side of the business, and I absolutely adored my immediate coworkers and my manager.

Cons

Senior leadership is an absolute mess. They will get us all together for these pep rallies, demand we “AMP IT UP”, then turn around and screw us mercilessly when it comes to raises, bonuses and job security. There is also quite a bit of platonic nepotism happening on the creative end of the business, with people who lend no real value to the work sitting at the very top of the creative pyramid solely because of their relationship to senior leaders. These people are being carried on the shoulders of their creative directors and ACDs, who are all criminally underpaid and under appreciated. With round after round of layoffs, no new wins, and leaders who demand high energy, long hours, and good attitudes at all times, I would strongly advise creatives to steer clear of this train wreck of an agency.
