Pros

Great training environment, well respected. Well located. Clients relatively easy to come by. Smart staff.

Cons

Stingy, competitive within offices between business units and between business units in other offices. Our own collateral material is lacking (even though we make it for our clients)

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
