Pros

Certain teams have a high standard for creative, lots of holidays off, can be family friendly depending on the account

Cons

For every really good project, there are a dozen terrible ones. Briefs have zero strategy. Agency bends over backwards to give clients exactly what they want.

Pros

At the time, unmatched creative depending on team. Plenty of kind folks, most of which I gather are no longer there. Opportunity to work on bigger briefs, straddle new accounts, etc. based on your level on ambition. Pave your own way.

Cons

Many. Frozen promo cycles even after being formally recommended. No merit increase after year one. CCO at the time ignored internal issues and instead continually offered up the proverbial Kool-Aid. Long hours, like getting teams messages/requests at 10pm for a morning deadline. Plenty of ego and pressure to go around (depending on your team).
