Cons
At least 3 times more turnover than anywhere I've ever worked or even heard of. Probably due to: Wanton disregard for any semblance of work-life balance Obscene workloads with unreasonable timelines toxic community, rotten from the top Depending on the day's turn-over, it isn't uncommon for mullen to employ more managers than workers, and at least one boss to every bee. Even with this boss-glut, reviews were mythologically rare and career advancement was a joke. Roles, goals and responsibilities are either intentionally ambiguous, or blatantly irrelevant. The very few promotions I ever witnessed were either political or people who were married to their bosses spouses' friends or business associates. It certainly appeared that meritorious contributions were counter-productive to a person's career at mullen. Anyone who won new business, received accolades from the industry or commendation from clients was fast-tracked to getting fired or treated so poorly that they quit soon after. I wish this was a subjective, bitter, ex-employee's jaded point-of-view, but I saw it happen again and again, to a dozen or more top-notch employees while simultaneously employees who were losing business and infuriating clients were promoted. It made no sense. If I didn't know how mentally incompetent the 'leadership' at mullen/NC was, I'd swear it was a money-laundering scheme. They seem to be intentionally torpedoing the ship while they scuttle it, capsize it, and run it aground. In summary, Barefaced subterfuge and sleazy, drunken-back-room-politics run the show at mullen/NC, literally and figuratively. If you're looking at an open position at mullen/NC, your chair is well-worn, and with good reason It's all appearances, and it's all bait-and-switch. All. Of. It. Until IPG axes mullen/NC's entire top-tier, nothing good will come of this place, don't do it
