Awful place to work now

Pros

As long as you're willing to make them the center of your world, the only thing in your life, you'll fit right in. Good benefits.

Cons

This company used to be one of the best places to work. Now they want 12 hour days plus constant availability. Don't bother trying to see your kids or celebrate an anniversary. The salaries keep going down, bonus structures are gone or slashed, and all the while they demand more work and enthusiasm. They don't try to keep their best people, but let the most toxic employees keep moving up. The entire culture there now is toxic and abusive.

One of the better agencies, but still not great.

Pros

Weber draws you in with exciting projects and smart colleagues that will keep you on your toes and thinking creatively. Having this company on your resume looks great. The people are all wonderful.

Cons

The agency has a very difficult time developing its junior staff into mid-level managers. Junior staff are overworked and underpaid, and it takes a very long time to be promoted to a level where you’re making a salary that matches the level of work you’re putting in. Weber claims to be focused on improving its diversity at the associate level, but it’s very difficult to make ends meet if you don’t come from a well-off family that you can fall back on for finances. Many junior staff members have to work second jobs to afford basic living costs, resulting in burnout and high turnover.
