      Management gives little to no help getting started, and then quietly decides to lay you off.

      Pros

      They pay you money, full health benefits, and a 401K.

      Cons

      Most of the creative department is comprised of freelancers so there's no stability. They like to hire young desperate wide-eyed recent graduates and take advantage of them. If things aren't up to par to them, they'll lay you off in a meeting you set, walk you out the door, and have a courier coldly drop your stuff off at your front door a week later. Expect no severance package whats-so-ever, regardless of how much you need a boost during your unemployment.

      Pros

      I felt a lot of ownership at AF. I was the only copywriter for the brands in my workload, so it was up to me to know the details of their business, their copy voice, their brand guidelines, etc. I really liked being the ultimate authority for the companies I worked on. All of the people I worked with were creative, smart, and dedicated.

      Cons

      Everyone seems incredibly overworked, especially management. This makes it hard (especially for new people) to get good feedback and guidance. I would sometimes turn in copy for review and never hear anything back - or sometimes I would turn in copy and be told the the project scope or goals had changed, and I'd never been told. Meetings are a real problem at AF. I would spend 75% of every day in meetings, leaving very little time to get any actual work done. Worse, many of the meetings were worthless for my day-to-day work. I also didn't see any long-term prospects for advancement at AF - very common for small agencies.

      Thanks for the input, Senior Copywriter. We really appreciate the feedback. And we’re proud that we empowered you to do some great work while at AvreaFoster. And yes we do fall victim to being a bit heavy on meetings. It’s something that we’ve worked on, but needs more attention. Thanks again for the feedback.
