Pros

It is good pay. I love having off on weekends since it is only Monday thru Friday. My boss and coworkers are wonderful to work with. I like working independently.

Cons

Instead of the trainee following the trainer (who has a lot of experience) - I was trained for two days. Little by little additional aspects of my main job were layered in. At 2 weeks my boss followed me to make sure I knew what I was doing instead of myself following her. It is timed! You have 45 minutes to be in and out of some stores. The bigger stores are three hours or more. Being timed gives me the most pressure. It's not quality at this company but quantity-meaning store visit frequency.

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.
