Pros

Competitive pay for corporate teammates

Cons

This company is a masterclass in performative culture. They love to talk about people-first values and career development, but the reality is far from it. Career “paths” are mostly smoke and mirrors, unless you’re an executive, in which case, congratulations, the red carpet is rolled out for you. The majority of promotions and recognition go to those already in positions of power, while frontline employees and support staff are treated as expendable. Leadership loves to send emails and film videos touting how much they care, but when it comes to real investment in people — especially those not in shiny C-suite roles, they disappear. It’s frustrating because there are good people at this company. Hardworking, genuine individuals who want to make a difference. Unfortunately, they’re often overlooked or burned out trying to make up for the incompetence and self-importance of those above them. The greed and phoniness at the top poison what could have been a meaningful place to grow a career. If you’re considering working here, be prepared: the smiles are surface-level, the opportunities are selective and loyalty is a one-way street.

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.
