Pros

Pay was decent but NOT worth it. My non-management co-workers were great.

Cons

I take pleasure in burning this bridge. It's going to be no secret to anyone who works there who this is. And I hope they see this. The creative director and the "big deal" (literally her title, the vagueness of which makes sense because she is bad at everything she does) are truly dreadful managers. They are petty and reckless children who project their insecurities onto everyone around them. They hate themselves and make it your problem. Just bad people. They make mistakes and blame them on you, and even when you make actual mistakes, they see them not as mistakes but as moral failures. They take everything personally. They say to ask questions and then hate you for asking questions. They are husks, empty shells, propped up by nothing but mutual reinforcement of their delusions. They really do deserve each other. They are utterly unaware of how easy it is to see through their nonsense. They laid me off after one of their clients stopped existing (great sign) and oh my god what a mercy. I didn't leave on my own because I hadn't landed anything else yet, but they pushed me out the door and I couldn't be more grateful. My current job pays less but I like it and I would never, ever, ever go back to big (stupid name, by the way). I hope that the business fails. It honestly seems pretty likely. I will buy myself a birthday cake on that day.

Challenging but Worth it

Pros

- hard work is rewarded - tight-knit office community - cool clients that you can establish a great rapport with - fast-paced - equally challenging and nurturing - a lot of creative freedom (should you choose to take it and put in the effort) - work-from-home capability and schedule flexibility. - New Creative Director is a huge improvement and is really pushing the creative envelope so to speak along with instilling a sense of creative community, vulnerability, and overall good office vibes.

Cons

Look, no job is perfect, and the past year and a half have been nothing short of unusual. Obviously, there are some salty people who weren't a fit and felt the need to express themselves via glassdoor, which is their right and totally fine, but not the full story, of course. There is always room for improvement in any workplace. But it's honestly a very exciting time at Big. We're growing and have won several new accounts. We've expanded our capabilities, and any "turnover" that has occurred was honestly, for the best.
