Pros

Learn something new about the industry every day. Managers strive to prepare you for leadership and advancement. I enjoy what I do and the atmosphere in which I work in.

Cons

Long hours with low pay compared to other industry. Salary and hours comparable to other companies within the industry though. Hard work but play hard!

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.
