      Diversity Much?

      Pros

      Cool Client Roster. Free Health Insurance.

      Cons

      How does an agency in 2019 have so little diversity? To be clear I mean people of color. The NYC CEO has run all of the little diversity away. How is that not a red flag? What creative team in London and NYC has no Diversity? Client beware and wake up! The company ONLY HIRES FROM THE SAME POOL!

      Great, Iconic Brands; Areas Need Improvement

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Great access to creative opportunities; jkr is definitely having their moment in the sun - A select few people are phenomenal; truly inspiring to work with - Great, iconic brands that everyone has an equal opportunity to work on (regardless of position) - Socials are really fun; a time for the team to unwind and really bond - Benefits are good; 20 days off + paid health insurance and an additional HSA card

      Cons

      - Only a few people left from the original award-winning teams - Global HR is by far, incredibly inexperienced and unethical - Compensation is not in line with market rates and there’s a huge disparity between those who rise up through the company and those who are brought on - Pressure and expectations don’t allow for the best work; they give you just enough support to get by - Physical office space is cramped - another review referenced a sweatshop and that's what it feels like; however, I know this is something that’s being addressed

      So Hip It's Painful

      Pros

      The hive does do top quality work and the carbs are endless. Top brand clients. Seem to be swimming in revenue. Everybody seems nice at first.

      Cons

      Its a hive. No personal space and no privacy. One big room with long banquet tables of evryone sitting cafeteria style. Seating assignments are literally moved weekly. No visual clue of hierchy. What would you move up to, another seat? Sweatshop with an audio track that never stops.

      Thank you so much for taking time to provide feedback on your experiences at JKR. Great to know that you enjoyed working on our brands - we are lucky to have created some brilliant relationships and opportunities with our clients. As we grow, we have invited the team to give their thoughts on trying new working arrangements, in order to address the challenges in physical space and the expanding team. As a business, we also value working as a team and believe great work comes from working together, which has meant hierarchy can be less visible sometimes. That being said, we can appreciate the challenges of the changes, and are working on structure to cater to our growth. Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate your thoughts.
