Pros
• It’s the perfect agency to use as a stepping stone into your career right out of college. • A decent office.
Cons
• Narcissistic CEO - don’t let the fake compliments fool you. • Underpaid / Overworked - those go hand in hand in every department in this agency. Expect more work to come your way every month you are there. No annual raises. • Toxic Culture - it’s a nice smoke show. Lots of catered lunches, restaurant outings, holiday parties, happy hours, the whole works. In time, you’ll realize how much money goes into these events that gets a nice tax write off at the end of year for Bigeye, but you will never compensated adequately for your skills/knowledge/work ethic/time investment. • No Leadership - the ONLY decision maker is the CEO. The rest that sit at the table that are also labeled as “leaders” are again there for a really nice smoke show, only there to fool themselves really - the whole agency is aware the others have no say. • Micromanaged - even through the pandemic this agency was in office, no masks enforced. Simply put, CEO wants to micromanage your every move. • No Flexibility - expect to be at the office 8-10 hrs a day. More if you are creative. No exceptions. Mothers/expected mothers, do not apply. No flexibility for doctors appointments, emergencies, etc. Absolutely no working from home, ever. PTO is only 12 days A YEAR, this includes sick days, vacations, COVID, you had an emergency and couldn’t make it to the office, etc. • No Trust - this agency will somehow manage to make you feel like you are not talented, that you can’t do better than this. But you can. You will be gaslighted every single day you work there and it’s not until you leave that you’ll realize how poorly as a working professional and a human being you were treated. • Cheap - they recruit an excessive amount of interns, unpaid, for free labor to not hire qualified employees they so desperately need.
