Pros

I have learned a lot about what not to do while working here for a few years I can now manage 100 projects at a time efficiently as that is whats always expected of those not in management. I have become a real self starter as there is no support whatsoever from Creative Directors or upper management.

Cons

Salary good to start but get used to excuses once raises/bonuses are due, horrible hours. Parent Company flips the switch on when people get laid off WITH NO KNOWLEDGE of what is actually going on at the agency. Not enough people to complete workload most of the time. If you work here YOU WILL BE LIED TO on a regular basis. No raises, no bonuses. executive creative directors make way too much for the contribution they offer. ALL CHIEFS NO INDIANS. Not enough people like me with boots on the ground doing ACTUAL WORK. All pointless meetings, no productivity. The top Creatives have stagnated and are rotting the Agency from the inside out like a moldy, worm ridden strawberry. Everyone who is good at what they do runs away from this place, as they should. Good luck un-seating one of these monuments to mediocrity from their high horse. NO ADVANCEMENT whatsoever. I couldn't take it anymore had to get out.

Pros

Unparallelled strategy team. Unique approach to understanding human needs and motivations, then building attachment between brand and consumer. Collaborative effort amongst anthropologist, behavioralists, semioticians, insights team, digital and marketing minds. Excellent creative strategy. Very hardworking account teams. Hands on management by partners/owners. Boutique atmosphere. Independent agency. Great for independent thinkers.

Cons

Deadlines--as is normative in the business--can be tough.

Pros

I cannot share any reasons as to why anyone would subject themselves to a house or horror agency. Be glad you checked the reviews !

Cons

The reviews are true, there is no appreciation for staff under the executive level, you’ll work yourself to the grave, there is no option to voice any opinion that differs from upper management because eventually they will all gang up on you and push you out the door in the most ethical way they can conjure.
