Pros

People are nice; work is interesting

Cons

so many red flags; "we are a family" - I don't recall families being run by Clients, and that's the only real group the company cares about. Don't be fooled by the fake caring - they will bring in young people out of college, run them through the ringer, then cast them aside. And the leaders in the company are terrible because the company doesn't care about training them to be leaders. And promotions are based upon you checking a box not your actual performance. Yeah, unless you are desperate and just need a job until you find a real company, stay away.

Pros

Assuming this is for the company in general and not the job title/definition specifically, CMI Media Group offers high flexibility in allowing individuals direct lines of communication to any level as well as input in their development and role. Upper management is fairly transparent and compensate is extremely fair.

Cons

Today's culture pressures the company and WPP, for that matter, to overcompensate on programs, policies and events to avoid litigation. It should be clear, however, that this is certainly a preventative or avoidance strategy, not a response to historic issues.

Pros

Great work/life balance compared to other agencies. Very secure job. Bonuses and promotions are given it out often. Great people to work with. Really great benefits.

Cons

Lower pay compared to agency competitor. Systems and processes are a little dated. Want to compete with bigger agencies but fail to take the steps needed to do so. Lots of shuffling around teams and brands.
