Pros
Intelligent and talented people working there. Good health insurance. While it was french owned there were many holidays and flex days.
Cons
The Creative Directors lead with an iron fist but are so far removed from the day to day that they make no sense. Often come in very late in the process with significant changes. All management have no issue making staff work around the clock to have highly finished comps. Overly detail orientated that they lose sight of the big picture. Middle management stretched too thin so cannot properly manage accounts and all are scared of the creative director. Too many middle managers/VPs/Creative directors on one project. No career development unless you're happy to be a slave to the CD. Whole agency is disorganized and terrible communication. No one gets back to you, and that is completely acceptable. Overly frustrating in all aspects. Creatively toxic.
