Pros
the people are nice, some steady long-term clients, really nice office building in fulton market so great for post-work hangouts with colleagues. robust early career talent recruitment with creative and non-creative intern programs and a residency program (rotational program for fresh grads), pay is low but at least for entry level, better than most other agencies.
Cons
mandatory to use subpar internal AI platform, no concept of inflation adjustments or raises or bonuses, no promotion if you don't show another job offer, very frequent layoffs, no respect for employees boundaries, you will get calls at 10pm on a weekday or 2pm on a Sunday asking you to work on something new due the next morning, most new biz pitches happen in new york or wpp wins go to new york office so be prepared for limited opportunities in the chicago office, and clients are clients. enough said.
