Pros

-learning to manage clients and more junior staff is good experience (though not unique to this agency) -good insurance benefits

Cons

-toxic, mean, gossip-y culture (my mental health and self esteem was wrecked for a while from this place) -little to no training provided -new business pitches are miserable to work on and usually recycle another pitch idea, not something that will actually solve a client need -unethical billing practices by senior leadership -horrible work-life balance; I had to stay in the office and work until nearly midnight on my birthday and then walk a few blocks alone to my car in an area that has frequent gun shots, thefts, and murders (unsafe office location) -revolving door of staff (20 people came and went on my team while I was there and I had seven managers in four years!) -this is the worst place I ever worked by far

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
