Pros

If you're from a big market (NY/LA) they're willing to pay those prices and offer you a promotion to bring you in.

Cons

I only worked here for about 5-6 month. If I were a betting man I would say the few positive reviews this place has are planted here. I came from a pretty creative agency prior to working here in the LA market. They claimed I didn't have to move to Virginia and I was enticed by the idea of working early and finishing early. I played myself by thinking that would be the case. I worked 6AM PT until well past EOD my time, and they were 3 hours ahead.. I don't understand why. I think a lot of people are simultaneously wasting time while also expecting you to be available. I'm currently a CD but when I worked here it was as a Sr Art Director. This is by far the least creative agency I have ever worked at or witnessed. Not to try to sound rude, but it felt like all of the people that were rejected from real agencies settled here. They're delusional to think that a person who came from a NY/LA market would stay here. For my first project no one on the team had done a real shoot before. How is that possible? Oh, because their "work" is stringing together stock footage and adding after effects graphics. Also, everyone here is white. If you're creative and considering this place please reconsider. You'll work MAL hours for school project level work to be surrounded by a ton of good ol boys

Pros

Great work life balance, no one is mean to your face. Some of the projects are cool.

Cons

I came hungry, and excited to work for a place that prioritizes "people". Little did I know that find of "family" aspect was another way of developing group think. If you think and act like the founder you will be rewarded. If you want to bring in any outside thinking or challenge him, you will be met with resistance and silenced. It was a really hard environment to be a part of when not in the "in" crowd. A crowd that hung out every weekend and that all went to school together and learned the same way of thinking. This is a great place if you want to stay comfortable and create mediocre work.

Pros

Located in a cheaper market to live than most agencies.

Cons

Very long hours, there’s an expectation that you need to be on slack at all hours and you’re reprimanded if you’re not. From speaking to some colleagues, there’s a wide pay disparity. Not everyone is being paid fairly. Even for those that are it’s probably not worth it for the amount of hours worked. Toxic. To be frank, I’m having a terrible time here. I know some people that have quit after a few months. I understand why.
