Pros

Lots of company outings. Lots of fun events.

Cons

Rampant sexual advances/sexual harassment. No means no. If you’re a woman watch out. You will repeatedly be made uncomfortable, asked out multiple times. Sexual innuendos are rampant. Lots of leering. They have had to settle multiple sexual harassment complaints to keep from going to court. This environment seemingly condones the behavior of its male co workers, so long as they tow the company line. Hr doesn’t have the backbone to make the call. Also the work environment is a bit high school. Lots of gossip and cattiness. If you go to hr expect that those private conversations seemingly get out, and become the gossip of the office the next dayZ This is not a conducive work environment! Work here if socializing is a top priority rather than fostering and building a career. If you are a woman, strongly consider working elsewhere.

Pros

I received fabulous training and met some great people at the co-worker level. The relaxed atmosphere is fun....until you are no longer in the 'popular crowd'

Cons

When I gave 2 weeks notice I was treated like a second class citizen and basically escorted from the building. The best way to succeed is to be related to someone. There are many people related to the people they directly report to and they definitely recieve special treatment. Certain producers have the 'power' to harass the account management staff, and if you speak up, management retaliates. There is an atmosphere of fear, regardless of work product, so be careful of who you cross. You get paid below average to begin with, so to be abused on top of it, it's a double whammy. They talk a big game about values and culture, but if you aren't in with the right people, none of it applies.
