Cons

Entry level positions are paid extremely low no work/life balance Politics plays a big part in certain offices Merit does not go a log way Talking to HR about issues with supervisors does absolutely nothing They do not care to promote or raise pay significantly until you have a new offer on the table

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.
