Pros

Independent nature of the work, you are your own boss to some degree. Meet a lot of nice people, both co-workers and store employees.

Cons

No pay increases whatsoever (I worked for ASM for five years and didn't receive one cost-of-living raise or merit pay increase) Hardly any opportunities for advancement. No feedback or yearly performance reviews, no effort on the part of upper management to assess employee progress and offer constructive feedback for improvement no encouragement. Poor communication about changes in policy Car and gas allowance Insufficient for the actual miles driven, lots of uncompensated vehicle wear and tear Overall lack of concern by upper management for the welfare of their hourly employees

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.
