Pros

Amazing benefits -We just got unlimited PTO/sick/bereavement time -health/dental/vision paid for -match 401K -access to therapy Great learning environment.

Cons

Cliquey. Many teams are isolated from one another. Awful communication. You often are thrown into different projects with no explanation of what is needed from you. Bosses are not responsive. Poor work life balance. High pressure to work evenings and sometimes weekends. People messaging you at all hours. No overtime pay. Very little room for advancement. You get more responsibility, but no promotion, and minimal raises. Bosses play favorites, and raises reflect this. No one cares how much or how little work you do. They may praise you for your work, but raises rarely reflect it. Bosses ineffective and there are zero consequences to bad behavior. Pay is decent, but good luck getting a fair raise for the amount of work you do.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
