It's advertising, the way you assume it will be.

Pros

Working at a large agency has a concrete set of benefits - large company infrastructure, great IT department, an HR department that will answer questions quickly, and enough employees that a sick day can be taken without work piling up on top of you upon your return.

Cons

However, its agency life, and therefore the hours are long, demanding, and there is not a lot of respect from the middle management level to the upper management level about the balance between home and work life. There's a lot of lip service paid to the idea of balance, but in the end, your ass needs to be in your chair for the unfortunately common 50+ hour weeks, late nights, and weekends. Client first, employee sanity second.

Pros

Flexible work environment, great clients, smart-coworkers. VML really does look after it's employees, with a great benefits package, social activities and office space. Along with this their client list is world class, you get the opportunity to work with some really large project and companies. A number of offices throughout the USA and world, means there is opportunity to move around within the company. Also the atmosphere is relaxed and casual.

Cons

Adequate information sharing is sometimes lacking. Along with this, because of the business the company is in, long hours are sometimes needed. But this is the nature of working in such a fun creative industry.

Pros

The work environment is so friendly and inviting. Creative ideas seem to surround you constantly due to the work place. The support you get from your peers is like non i have never experienced. I feel as though i was a part of this family before i started. Another reason is the support you get on your benefits. VML pays for your health insurance and dental. They have matching to a certain limit on your 401 k as well as your flex spending. And they also cover you if your hurt, very comforting. VMLl also has outstanding social events that bring the company together, sometimes it food and drink, sometimes its art and music, sometimes it is community involvement. All make me proud to be a VML employee. I feel very luck to have this job.

Cons

In this face paced industry its hard to take the time to acknowledge those who help you the most, and what that individual or individuals had to sacrifice for the company. I can count the late nights i have put in, never to get a thank you or a simple email.
