Pros

Good company to work for if you have other income. One cannot survive on the few days you may get. December and January was deplorable. Only total of 9 days for both months combined. Lucky if you get 1 or 2 days a week....not the hours one is lead to believe when first hired. DSM's are excellent, but bet they have a hectic job trying to be fair by distribution of assignments. Pay is okay, but if you are sent to other stores don't expect any compensation. Travel is calculated at 40 plus miles and 1 hour plus time.

Cons

Problem is they hire too many extras/floaters and not enough events to go around. Company seems to have great expectations and hires more than is needed. Soon the work fizzles and you may not get work for days on end. I would not recommend this job to any person unless you are looking for a hobby for a days work here and there. Was good in beginning, but as time went on they hired more people and work becomes slim.

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.
