Pros

Remote work... that's about it

Cons

I've worked at other pharma agencies - the culture here is just abusive. Full of bullying people, especially account (total mean girl behavior). Crazy nepotism - Someone will be reported for bullying multiple team members, and then that person will get a promotion. WOW. Don't fall for the 'love bombing' with the job offer - if you're not in the 'in crowd', then you'll be constantly undermined, and reduced to terror and stress. There's no reason for a place to be so cliquey, cruel and toxic. The people who thrive have been there most of their careers, or have senior leadership connections. There's no work-life balance. You'll work 14-16 hours a day (+weekends) and if your tired eyes make a mistake, then multiple people will say how 'disappointed' they are in you.  Upper management behaves so unprofessionally - being openly catty about very confidential info. Can't wait to leave whenever this job market turns around!

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.
