Pros

The benefits are top notch. Pay is comparable to industry standards. Mostly decent work life balance for an agency. Most of the people are great - especially those “in the trenches.” Overall good company culture, but that depends on the group you’re in.

Cons

Little to no support from upper management on the production side. More accusatory than anything, so don’t make any mistakes. No help whatsoever and have a “it is what it is attitude.” Def “boys club” so good luck seeing anything change in the near future.
