Pros

- Overall co-workers are great, smart people. Great client roster but the scope of creative work is limited and not as impressive as you may think. - Flexible with WFH

Cons

- Limited growth due to performance reviews getting postponed or cancelled altogether. - With so many mergers / acquisitions, hyper growth, and working virtually it's difficult to understand who is part of the company - Consistently said yes to more work than we were able to manage which often resulted in sub-par work - Senior management has little to no interaction or communication with teams unless you were part of the upper level management team

It's been such a pleasure, joy and fresh air to work here. I'm respected, as is my work life balance.

Cons

Leadership hasn't always been consistent with their words and actions, making it feel scary and tumultuous at times.

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.
