Business outlook
Pros
Huge accounts with big budgets means that you'll be working on some exciting stuff. Free alcohol and nibbles on a Friday afternoon and regular meetings to praise staff for their good work
Cons
Hours are ridiculous - for example if you get up at 3am to do radio drops then you can still expect to be in the office at 6pm that afternoon without any sympathy. There is a cliquey group of girls who are absolutely vile to work with and are totally unhelpful to newbies. Not much opportunity for progression - have yearly reviews but it is so impossible to manage the workload that few people are promoted. Also, so many clients were on the verge of leaving which made middle managers very stressed and guess who they took it out on!
