Pros

Some of the clients are doing amazing work. The pay is competitive.

Cons

Short sighted, unethical, discriminatory and ineffective management team. Non-existent coaching or strategic direction. Work is done mostly by junior people while the higher-ups bill for it. Very non-inclusive and clique dominant Mediocrity is par for the course, as long as you bill 12 hours a day

We always appreciate feedback, even if it’s not what we want to hear. As we’ve mentioned in other comments, W2O has invested significantly in coaching, on-boarding, and learning and development this year as a result of feedback like yours. We also take diversity and inclusion very seriously and are working with partners like the LAGRANT Foundation and the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association among others to do a better job on our hiring mix. We are very sorry to hear that your experience at W2O was not a positive one, but our People Experience team appreciates the opportunity to learn where we can make additional investments to reward and support our talented staff.

Pros

- none. this company is soul suckingly inefficient and they prefer it that way

Cons

- the most dishonest and toxic work environment that I have ever been a part of - the most unqualified management that I have come across (I have worked across numerous agencies - the work is sketchy at best and clients are grossly over billed. Pressuring employees to over bill clients and trying to force inaccurate or incomplete work through the purposely inefficient review processes is common practice at RC - if you do not over bill your clients your managers will begin to micromanage you in a manner that hints at you not doing enough. - Account teams know nothing about media or advertising and make the most uninformed promises to clients and that media activation is constantly on the hook and being blamed for - they hire very little or no men in general. this place is like a toxic middle school atmosphere, it is truly exhausting to be a part of. - managers will routinely insult you in a way you've never been insulted before at work and nothing will be done about it - information is usually gate kept and teams will prevent you from doing your job while management is asking that you contribute more.
