Management don't know how to run an ad agency, the team suffers - Anonymous employee BLKBX Creative Group Employee Review

For the time i was there I've learned a lot and was able to meet some incredible people and work on fantastic projects.

Not many breaks, long working hours.

+ I truly mean it when I say I could not have asked for a better stepping stone company to start my career with.

- The reason why I say that is because the high turnover rate and lack of immediate hires means that junior level employees will be thrown into the fire and asked to fulfill responsibilities far beyond their experience, job title, and compensation. If the chaos doesn't deter you, you'll grow and develop twice as fast as you would at a properly staffed agency. - I've never seen a company so adept at consistently hiring brilliant talent, yet somehow even better at mismanaging them into quitting after they inevitably get burnt out. You'll form incredible bonds with your coworkers through your mutual suffering. - Upper management is too removed from the day-to-day to know what you're actually doing. Someone once asked me where I saw myself at the company next year, and when I gave them my goal title and responsibilities, I was told to "be realistic". This was a complete disconnect from several direct superiors who've actually worked with with me saying that I was performing close to that title's level and responsibilities, and they would be comfortable putting me up for a promotion within a couple more months of growth.
