Pros

There are many great people left who care for both their colleagues and their clients. Competitive salaries and some good benefits. Overall, good work/life balance.

Cons

This was a great agency, but now they prioritize profits over people. Recently, there have been many layoffs of employees with excellent performances, without any type of communication from leaders to explain the reasoning behind them. Lack of career growth and direction.

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.
