Pros

- Mostly friendly co-workers - Talented creative team

Cons

I feel that this review is going to echo many of the reviews already posted here, frankly because they are true. - Work-life balance is poor and you will be expected to cater to the client at all hours - The primary client for this agency is difficult to work with and doesn't communicate well - There is a lack of innovation at this agency, it feels dated and I struggle to see them maintain success with their current strategy, your creative team can create much better than what they're currently doing (partly because the clients limit your creative extensively) - Some staff are very argumentative and fail to compromise with others and management was unprofessional at times - Unrealistic expectations set employees up for failure and energy was often wasted on trivial tasks

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the camaraderie and friendly environment at FKQ while you were part of our team. And we appreciate your positive impression of our extremely talented creative team…we could not agree more! We’re very invested in the people that work at FKQ because we know a strong team is paramount to the success of our business. FKQ provides flexibility and many opportunities to help the team to strike the balance they need for each individual work-life situation. If you feel your needs were not accommodated, we’d value the chance to hear more about that. Many of our associates appreciate the opportunity to work in growing momentum categories, solve complex issues and return positive results. In turn, our Clients appreciate our Whatever it Takes spirit, resulting in long-tenured relationships. As we near our 58th year of doing business, as an independent shop, we feel tremendous pride in all we have been able to innovate to remain successful. We encourage our talented team to embrace curiosity, push boundaries, challenge norms and possess a spirit of innovation, even when it may seem easier to be complacent. Our spirit is truly unparalleled by any other organization. Unprofessional behavior is not condoned and is simply unacceptable. As your review notes that you are a former employee, we hope that you shared this candid feedback with your supervisor before departing, so any specific areas of opportunity could be addressed appropriately. We regret to hear that you feel there were unrealistic expectations put upon you during your time here or that you were not aligned with the reasoning behind tasks you were asked to perform. Again, we hope you shared specifics with your supervisor to address specific opportunities. We value all feedback and evaluate it constructively as a management team. If there is anything else that you’d like to share with us, we certainly appreciate it. Please always feel free to do so by calling any member of the Executive Committee or sending an email to feedback@fkq.com. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Pros

Unlimited growth/learning potential, fast-paced environment, supportive management, family environment. If you're willing to work hard and are in a place that you want to learn A LOT, QUICKLY, this is the place for you! There is a can-do environment and even though it can be fast paced and hard work at times, it's a great place to take your career to the next level. (I don't understand these other reviews because I've been here for just about two years none of these things seem to be true still.)

Cons

Free snacks! (I'm gaining weight)
