Pros

Lots of fun aspects of the job with company wide events and enjoyable office settings. Really great opportunities with major clients.

Cons

Leaderships don't really have their teams best interests at heart. The mostly just care about that amount of work that the teams get done without supporting them actively.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
