Pros
Vertical and horizontal integration: As an entry-level employee, I have the opportunity to work directly with employees of any seniority; there have been times when it has just been the CEO, a Partner and me working through client work in a meeting. I also work fluidly with any discipline. Unlike other agencies, VSA is not extremely siloed, which allows for interaction with employees of any discipline. The experience: Especially as it pertains to my discipline, strategy, I have been able to work on -- and at times, fully implement -- many types of branding initiatives. My job is much, much more than just writing creative briefs; it requires the drive and scrappiness inherent in the VSA DNA that is promoted through company culture and values and embodied by employees.
Cons
While I feel as if I am getting incredible experience through client opportunities and collaboration with fellow employees, I often feel as if I am not valued for the work I am doing.
