Pros

Home office with a decent support staff in CA

Cons

a disconnect everywhere you turn. they play favorites. if you fit into the lifestyle of upper management and spend all of your time brown nosing you might make it a few years. you are expected to be on call 24/7. expected to work on vacations and don't dare take a sick day! 80 hrs a week is not enough. you are treated like an idiot at all times. the only ones that make it are the ones that don't get caught cheating with their numbers. they are notorious for laying people off in the mass's over the phone! they rule by threat. do it or else they will find someone who will.

Pros

There are pockets of talent and smarts on the creative side of the business, and I absolutely adored my immediate coworkers and my manager.

Cons

Senior leadership is an absolute mess. They will get us all together for these pep rallies, demand we “AMP IT UP”, then turn around and screw us mercilessly when it comes to raises, bonuses and job security. There is also quite a bit of platonic nepotism happening on the creative end of the business, with people who lend no real value to the work sitting at the very top of the creative pyramid solely because of their relationship to senior leaders. These people are being carried on the shoulders of their creative directors and ACDs, who are all criminally underpaid and under appreciated. With round after round of layoffs, no new wins, and leaders who demand high energy, long hours, and good attitudes at all times, I would strongly advise creatives to steer clear of this train wreck of an agency.
