Pros

> Above-average pay almost makes up for poor work/life balance and confusion...almost > Interesting benefits ($500/yr for health products services / $500 for home office gear)

Cons

> What I remember most was a general state of confusion in the company overall. It was like nobody on the ground really knew what the company even did anymore or how to go about getting things done. > I was on a team with an extremely skeletal crew and since resources were swapped out every other day you had no continuity with any one team and would have to onboard new people constantly leading to many hours per week being wasted which was catastrophic on the business I worked on which had shoestring budgets. > At the time the senior & mid-level PM leadership was unable to help with much to improve anything, and when reached out to for support I was told "be my own advocate" > Lack of culture. Interpersonal relationships seemed discouraged.

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.
