Pros

Advantage hired me right out of college, which was great. Also, I have no complaints about my manager/coach. The LDA position is vastly different depending on your division (sales or marketing) and where you are located. From what I've heard, the marketing LDAs have a much better experience than those in retail. But that really isn't saying much.

Cons

The interviewing and onboarding process was disorganized. I moved to an apartment thinking that I would be working out of an ASM office, which was not the case. Then I was moved into an office with almost no notice. I've seen multiple members of upper management be fired arbitrarily and without tact. Needless to say, I don't get a very strong sense of job security here. I enjoyed marketing in college as an avenue for my creativity; however, ASM is really not a marketing company at all. Instead, I'm tasked with basic administrative duties that wouldn't pose a challenge for an average third-grader.

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.
