Pros

After 5+ years here, the thing that keeps me is genuinely the people. The talent across this company is remarkable — collaborative, smart, and decent humans who make even the hard days manageable. The culture at the team level is something I haven't found elsewhere in this industry. The work itself is a real strength too. As a holding company, you get exposure to a diverse range of clients and challenges that keeps things fresh and stretches your skills in ways a single-agency role wouldn't. If you're curious and want to grow, the opportunities are there — you just have to be proactive about finding them. Flexibility has also improved meaningfully, and leadership has generally trusted senior employees to manage their own time.

Cons

Like most large holding companies, there are growing pains worth knowing about going in. Career pathing can feel ambiguous — it's not always clear what the criteria are for the next level or how decisions get made, though there are signs that more structured frameworks are being developed. Compensation conversations can be slow and incremental; the company is working to stay competitive but the process doesn't always move at the pace the market does. Workload and resourcing is a real tension — ambitious scopes don't always come with proportional headcount, and that can wear on teams. It's something leadership is visibly aware of and working to address. Similarly, as a large organization, internal processes and approvals can add friction. Not unusual for the holding company structure, but worth patience if you're used to a leaner environment.
