      Pros

      The salary they reel you in for is above market value.

      Cons

      There is absolutely no work life balance here. They will stretch you across multiple accounts where you have no time to thoughtfully do good work or understand your clients' needs yet will still expect perfection and you will be stressed to your core trying to meet these unrealistic expectations. Someone previously shared that leadership treats your salary as if they bought your entire life and that is 100% accurate. They expect you to be available 24/7. My mental health has severely declined since working here because I have zero time for my family or myself. On top of the lack of work life balance, the management team is laughable with how toxic they are and the things they have said to people. If you value your time and respect yourself, do not work here.

      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.
