Micromanaging, unprofessional -- a successful guise to the creative arts world
Pros
Ability for young professionals to network with top agencies and artists whether qualified to do so or not. Company is very focused on public appearance so you will have the opportunity to attend industry events and meet clients across the country.
Cons
Everything else... Poor benefits, strict work policies. When I worked for the company the CEO sat in the middle of the open office plan like the nucleus of the operation. He micromanaged everyone to an unhealthy degree to the point where everyone felt watched and nervous. It was a tattle-tale environment in which you could never have an off day. If you said something to a client that could've used a 'rephrase' an employee may email the CEO. If you're having a watercooler chat with a colleague even after discussing something work-related, you will get an email from the CEO telling the colleague to get back to their desk. People have been fired for strict email policies. Weekly meetings are pointless and very often the CEO fell asleep. Ideas are rarely taken into consideration. Reviews are constant and pointless. The CEO has only ever worked for himself and therefore has no understanding of what it is like to manage others and to be managed (in order to generate a positive working relationship).
