      Pros

      Decent health insurance, remote work opportunity

      Cons

      If you're looking for an editorial opportunity here, look elsewhere. This is just another agency that cares about the dollar and not about its people. You'll be offered a decent paycheck, but that's where the decency ends. Expect your managers to say things so inappropriate, you'll forget to blink for an hour. Expect to work (cold reads, fact checks, etc) many weekends and what they like to call "evenings" but are actually all-nighters. Expect to hear editorial colleagues say things like, "I rescheduled my medical appointment and skipped my kid's piano recital for this--why aren't you making the same effort?" Wish I were exaggerating, but nope, it's that comical here. Like a blast from 90s Big Corp past. Just ick. You deserve a healthy work environment that respects your boundaries and time--RC's not worthy of you, I promise.

      We agree with you – a healthy work environment is focused on our people, which is why our CEO likes to remind us to “take care of yourselves, your families, and Real Chemistry.” We continuously work towards a culture rooted in wellbeing—from perks that include flexible time off, remote and hybrid working, therapy + coaching sessions, annual wellness reimbursements, and more. We know that being in a client service business can be demanding, which is why we encourage people to carve out time for themselves to set the boundaries they need to stay healthy. -- Wendy Carhart, Global Communications, Culture, and Purpose Officer

      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.
