Pros

Everyone below senior level had the same grievances of underpaid and overworked so it is easy to get along with employees. There are lots of snacks which may be to delusion you into thinking the benefits are worth the low pay.

Cons

I worked here for almost 3 years and did not get a single raise nor bonus. I was told by management that there was no budget, but people in other teams were getting promotions and new hires with the same experience or less were getting paid more than me. It was normal to work 60hrs a week. Account management would tell me to not log the honest hours I worked. They overwork people and do not repay them. If you want to feel appreciated and have a future in your career, look elsewhere. Dallas has plenty of other ad agencies.

Pros

Nothing much to say here!

Cons

I worked at this company for a period of time and left due to a workplace culture that repeatedly tolerated racially insensitive behavior. I personally witnessed and experienced comments and treatment that crossed professional boundaries and created a hostile environment. When concerns were raised, leadership either minimized the issue or treated it as a “communication problem” rather than addressing the behavior directly. HR processes felt inconsistent and offered little meaningful accountability. The result was a workplace where certain employees were protected while others were expected to “deal with it,” which negatively impacted morale and retention. If you value psychological safety, fairness, and professionalism, I would be extremely cautious before joining. This organization has potential, but it needs major cultural change and stronger leadership standards to become a healthy place to work.
