Pros

Some of the folks here are very passionate about what they do. The HR department is caring.

Cons

If you work hard and care about the quality of your service, they will work you to death. They keep mediocre people forever, and fail to recognize and reward the talented employees. There is a mass exodus and they are unwilling to change to stop it. .

Pros

Amazing team members that are dedicated, supportive, and want to see you learn and grow! Large effort among directors and associate directors to create a positive team environment and work-life balance. Lots of training opportunities for entry-level. Very flexible and encouraging with the unlimited PTO. Great benefits and plans to have flexible working options (fully WFH, fully in-person, and hybrid available). Promotions happen more often/quickly than at other agencies if you work hard and easy to transition between media departments.

Cons

"People first" motto comes first until it doesn't. Pay is disappointingly low for entry-level (slightly below the living wage in LA) and is one of the top reasons for entry-level turnover rate. High turnover rate also leaves lots of teams with a heavy load, sometimes working long hours. Team dynamics vary drastically among departments. Executives try to seem available like there's no hierarchy but are still way up there in the hierarchy, status, and pay. 401k doesn't have matching until your 2nd year at the company.

Pros

- Weather - Free parking - The hours can be pretty good by ad agency standards

Cons

At RPA, it's all about the three Bs: Buck-passing, backstabbing, and Borderline personality disorder. I've never worked in a more politically toxic environment, nor have I ever felt more disposable to management.
