Pros

Working at ASM has really opened my eyes to the way that the CPG Industry functions. Being an LDA allowed me to see all sides of the business and meet many influential executive associates, an opportunity that most associates never get. Overall my expereince with ASM has been very educational and has pushed me to gain skills I never expected to have any interest in,

Cons

Thus far I havent run many reasons to criticize the organization. One thing I found frusterating with the LDA program was that we were really treated as children which was odd since we are all young professionals between 22-30 years old. Another thing was with the high expectations of my managers it was hard to juggle getting our group project work and numerous assignments done while still working 40 hrs a week on Cat Man projects. It was never clearly layed out if I was to have time to work on LDA assignments and projects during my regular 40 hours a week or if it was expected to be done outside of that time.

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.
