Pros

Good work/life balance if you live close to where you work. Set schedule/hours 95% of the time. Good pay for salaried managers in Washington state.

Cons

HR department is a joke. Time card theft or any policy violation that is bubbled up to them takes weeks to get a response. HR also decides to turn a write up into final notices MONTHS after the fact and ask their associates to resign documentation. DMs are not seens as often as they say they will see you; typically they manage from an email-only standpoint. Super micromanaged- detailed "day in the life" broken down into 30 minute intervals they expect you to do every day without fail. No room for flexibility without getting push back.

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.
