I wrote a much longer review that didn't get posted, so I'll keep this short. 1. The executive team is very biased on who they promote and pay. Most of the people they promote and pay well are in the "inner circle" that originally started the agency. If you are a new hire, there will be very limited (if any) room for career advancement. 2. The executive team and directors are out of touch with cutting-edge marketing strategies, have no desire to improve their craft, and constantly take credit for work that isn't theirs. There is no "delgating" - 95%+ of the client work is done by entry level employees with little to no support from management. What makes this worse is that internally, they act like the executive team is the most important part of the company... when many of them don't understand even basic digital strategy. 3. Not the best environment for women or entry-level employees. Many of the male leaders say inappropriate things to employees, and have even said things to clients that have gotten them fired. They make entry-level employees feel bad at their job, do not provide legitimate learning and development training, and will make you hate marketing.

Leadership will listen, but actually enacting change is impossible. This goes for operations/processes, resourcing needs, technology improvements, etc. High performers are not incentivized nor are they promoted or offered any career growth. Only the small circle of leaders in leadership seem to get promoted while the AM level and below are buried under unrealistic work expectations. Well, I guess high performers are rewarded with more work because teammates know who to go to to get stuff done. Monetarily, outside of a small yearly bonus and potential pay raise on your annual, bonuses don't exist. There are multiple layoffs a year, usually coming after an weird round of hiring. And one round of layoffs is usually right before everyone is about to gather for the annual company in-person meeting (usually August FYI). Really brings down company morale for those that remain. Leadership and Sales are out of touch with realistic timelines, realistic workload, and just reality. Rushed onboardings and last minute promises to clients really create difficult workloads, working 12+ hour days, and both physical and mental health issues. Then the clients think that this is a standard that leadership set and is normal, which turns into a very difficult relationship between those actually managing the account and the client in the short and long run. Leadership just wants to onboard new clients and bring in more money from new and existing clients, no matter the cost to the team.
