Pros

It offers free parking downtown. The workload could be a lot heavier than it is. Also, the company is growing.

Cons

I was told 4 months ago that I would be getting a raise at ASM (this would be my first raise in almost 2 years). Despite numerous e-mails and contacts with management, I have heard very little from them since. Basically, they like to dangle the carrot of the raise in front of you and hope that you don't complain too much. Even though the company is growing, prying anything from their purse strings is like squeezing blood from a turnip. Additionally, it seems that middle management practically does nothing all day. They postpone reviews constantly and rarely assist lower level CSR's with major problems that they encounter, despite requests for help.

Pros

Great company. Although laid off, we did get a severance package. Good PTO and flexibility.

Cons

I would suggest seeing if other positions within the company would be a good fit before laying off your good employees with no other options to keep them with the company.

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.
