Pros

As an employee, you are well taken care of, encouraged to be proactive and take charge when needed, and reward you with bonuses and raises.

Cons

The work is not the most exciting. Performance marketing is not the most fulfilling work, but it pays the bills and the people are great to work with.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
