Pros

Big Company - lots of room to move arround if you'd like (although it often helps to know the right people). The program also gives you lots of cross-training and access to company leadership. CAUTION: Beware of these LDA reviews - the company required us to review the program on here....!

Cons

Program pretty much forces you to relocate anywhere in the US - with no promise of a full-time job after the program is over. You get a small relocation stipend and a fairly low pay to start. They also don't fully tell you what you'll be expected to do as part of the program. This results in a pretty high turnover rate. I literally spent 3 days a week for almost a year crawling on a grocery store floors to rotate products. I'd be more likely to recommend the company overall then the LDA program. It was a rough year for me to get through, and although I got a job in the end, I'm not sure I'd go through the process again.

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.
