Pros

The pay. That's it. Don't give in to the golden handcuffs.

Cons

Leadership is a joke - in the view areas where leadership exists, since 2 presidents were terminated. EVPs lack experience needed for their roles. No organization should have a 30 year old EVP. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. 21Grams is holding on with bubble gum and tape. The fear of losing more business is creating dire situations on teams where clients are allowed to abuse the agency and we continue to bow down to them, for fear of getting fired. Unless you absolutely need work, keep looking and do not work here. Everyone is on their way out anyhow. PS - there is no DEI at this company.

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.
