Pros
- Good PTO - Swanky offices, but not really a pro - Cool clients
Cons
- Terrible pay. Making in the $50ks as an SAE. $50k is now a starting salary for ACs (straight out of college) at many agencies. - Some managers that get promoted when they should be fired, even after employees voice their concerns to HR and higher-ups. - The fact that they're putting money into new offices when everyone's complaining about the pay. - And moving into a new office and posting it on social media amidst a global pandemic? Tone deaf. Maybe some people wouldn't have been laid off if we weren't running such irresponsible margins on empty offices. - Unreasonable expectations, especially when traveling on business trips. - Poor processes. Other agencies have project managers separate from account managers. Why are account managers making production schedules when they can't see the creative teams' available hours? Just so the traffic team can tell us to do it over a different way? Twice the amount of work for no good reason.
