Pros

ASM is a large company who works with many reputable clients to deliver quality sales & marketing services to retail customers throughout North America. The leaders seem to be driven in expanding business in a positive way while respecting its employees. Many employees have experienced more than a couple positions in the company, creating an understnding of responsibilities and a solid workflow between all departments. ASM provides opportunites all over the country with good pay and benefits.

Cons

ASM could probably use more people (especially at the manager and team lead level) as some seem over-worked and pressed for time. I know there can be a disconnect at some levels where a manager might have too much responsibilty to spend time with each member of their team. This leads to associates learning more from their co-workers than trainging from their manager.

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.
