Agency EA Reviews

Fergus Rooney the managing partner, is the main con and the cause of all the agency’s problems. Rooney mocks and insults every person in the agency. He screams during meetings because nothing is ever good enough. This causes unbelievable turnover and leads to work attended by freshmen with no experience scrambling. Then, because the work falls behind, he insults and screams even more. Thus, the majority of the agent life is spent on a pathetic and unnecessary goal: how do we avoid being yelled at for an hour? You only survive if you can sit there and take verbal punishment while admitting how wrong and dumb you are. And, to make it even worse, Fergus acts as if he is the event industry’s gift from God and has grandiose illusions about his agency’s greatness. In sum, 99% of my coworkers were miserable and planning on leaving as soon as possible. That will be you, if you work here.

"If you are the type of person that likes to make it to a yoga class or have dinner at home that will have to change" This job has zero work/life balance. You will enjoy long days at the office, you will be ridiculed if you try to leave at a decent hour no matter how early you arrive at the office. This agency is incredibly unprofessional in the way that things are conducted. There is absolutely no respect for anyones time and the well being of employees isn't important. Every meeting is used as a social gathering so things do not get done in a timely manner. Ultimately this leads to incredible stress, irritation and overly long hours that wouldn't be needed if everyone could conduct themselves professionally in the first place. These things are just the tip of the iceberg, there were even more problems that I won't delve into.
