Pros

Opportunities to make pretty good work, considering it's for a car client.

Cons

Empty ship - there are only a handful of creatives left, essentially senior management and a crew of freelancers. Weak leadership - it's a one-client shop, so at the end of the day, they'll do what the client tells them to. Client (Ford Motor Company) is a very hierarchical boys club, so their culture becomes the agency's culture. Very rarely will you get a performance review, promotion, or raise, in either NY or Detroit.

Pros

Everyone is really nice and willing to help you. Also get to be involved in projects you don't normally do on a regular basis so that can be interesting. Management is also really great

Cons

only one major automotive account, would be nice to have a variety of client engagements.

Pros

Produced cool creative. Worked with some brilliant people. Fairly close-knit team. Successes were shared. Interesting dynamic as an agency split between 2 cities.

Cons

despite some reaches towards DEI, there was a lot of listening to older white men talking.
