Incompetent Senior Management, Failing Upwards, and Useless HR
Pros
- It is a job with a paycheck. - I felt like a bonafide member of Mensa compared to my counterparts in other disciplines.
Cons
- If you're someone who values being elevated based on your skills and tangible results over politicking, yeet yourself clear of this agency. VP level and above in the account and project management departments cannot do a single facet of your job -- which should be a prerequisite for these people garnering said title. A logical conclusion, and one this author has first hand experience with, can be drawn that the agency hires/promotes based on age and/or tenure vs. actual talent and proven results. - Seriously, just don't work here. You will instantly regret it. As someone who's worked on multiple brands and teams, they're all the same. Poorly equipped managers making stuff up as they go along, feining competence, and deflecting attention away from their shortocmings staight onto you. The managers thrive in the chaos and you will be the casualty.
