Pros

Company Benefits aren't too bad.

Cons

The work environment is highly demanding and draining, with a leadership team that offers minimal direction or organizational support. There is no clear pathway for upward mobility, promotions, or compensation increases, making long-term career growth impossible here. Additionally, the creative direction has shifted away from high-caliber work toward high-volume, automated AI production, which has severely impacted the quality of the output and team morale.

Pros

Benefits are good. - Health insurance, 401k, unlimited PTO

Cons

The main concern is the volatility of job security lately; there have been a lot of layoffs lately, and that means an increase in workload for those of us still left. Clients can either make the experience good or bad depending on how demanding and nitpicky they are. I'm currently on 5 accounts, but one client is making work unbearable.
