Pros

Close proximity if you live in Bergen County NJ. Basic account work so no strategic thinking needed; i.e. make a design and send along to the client in a already approved template.

Cons

Lack of leadership, direction and overall strategic insight. Leadership was hard to communicate with and provided no direction or team building skills. Treated Jr. Account Mangers with no respect. My experience was eye opening to say the least. No PM tools in place, no structure and overall would not recommend any client or candidate entertain utilizing the lack of marketing services this D level local Agency provides.

Pros

Sigma Group is in transition. They are working hard to become a true Digital Agency. They have on site parties, a stocked kitchen and for the most part, they are nice people to work with. If you live in North Jersey, the commute is great. Very talented people.

Cons

As mentioned in the title, this agency is in transition. The joke here is that seats are re-arranged every year and titles are ambiguous to keep you from leaving the Agency with a marketable title. The agency needs to realize they need to hire experts in Digital and fully commit to Digital both culturally and financially. Maintaining the cliques, the us vs them and very catty mentality between the Creative Directors and their teams divides the agency. To their credit, they try really hard to build a team based culture. Cut rate benefits, below market salaries, no stability in process, infighting and ambiguous prioritization make this a place that can be very frustrating to seasoned digital pros. Sadly,the people below middle management are very talented, very frustrated and constantly looking for other jobs with the huge benefit of a close commute.
