Pros

Not a single one, this job was full of lies and tricks. The Supervisors are good at selling snake oil, though.

Cons

Expected to pay for the privilege of having a job (lucky me!!). Hired for 1st shift but constantly scheduled for 3rd shift with pay too low to cover overnight child care, despite supervisor promises of reimbursement and 'it won't happen again'. Not once EVER did I have access to my pay stubs or W-2 forms. Was told to add more web browsers to my personal computer to solve the problem (the tech lead insisted Firefox and Mozilla [Modzilla as he called it] were two different browsers). Gossip is treated as gospel. Vindictive and demeaning behaviors used on employees by management who also insist you are the vindictive and abusive one. Inept support personnel refuse to solve issues and blame you for their failings. You have an HR rep, but no one will tell you who that is. EthicsPoint reporting system used to punish employees who register complaints.

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.
