Adcom Group Reviews

Training is nonexistent. You will be expected to work overtime and on the weekends without pay. Severely low pay overall compared to other agencies in the area. Adcom tries to seem progressive and fun, yet they fired almost all of their POC employees in the middle of the BLM movement. COVID was handled extremely poorly (as the CEO wanted to keep people in the brand shiny new office that he purchased after laying off over 20 people in the middle of the pandemic). After a few months of that, five people in the building got COVID. The lack of care for employees' general well-being here is almost comical. You will be expected to be "on-call" when you're on PTO, so you never truly get time off. In the time I spent at Adcom, I watched over 20 people get laid off and 12 people voluntarily quit. Having worked at other agencies in the past, I can tell you this was by far the worst.

- account managers aren’t managed through traffic so you’ll log 55-60hr weeks and nobody bats an eye but if you try to have a designer work 41 hours, you get immediate and forceful pushback - career goals are only listened to if they align with what AdCom needs of you at this moment - covid was handled terribly with the CEO’s main focus on how to get people back into the office asap even though we were in the middle of a pandemic. Salaries were cut twice during this time and all he worried about was our rebranding. - as per most agencies, we were so reliant on our clients projects that we sacrificed internal resources to get things done. - when I was leaving, I was offered all of these benefits that weren’t available to me while being employed which was so off putting because it shows I was very undervalued but extremely overwhelmed during my day to day
