Pros
Hands down the culture and work EXPERIENCE! It’s an agency so prepare to be on your toes everyday. If fast pace isn’t your vibe then this is NOT the place for you. First off, the culture. Since leaving DA I’ve had two different job opportunities it big corporations and it doesn’t compare to this place. Some of my closest personal relationships are from either DA alums or still there. There’s a unity feeling there that I couldn’t and still can’t find in the workplace. Many of my professional “cheerleaders” are from DA and the network really grows if YOU put an effort. Now to work experience, I truly felt sometimes I was overworked and overstressed but when I say this truly prepares you for whatever you decide comes next. The things you learn here will put you ahead of the game. You will hate it in real time but you’ll be learning things beyond your role and expertise. I think that’s a plus of an agency experience.
Cons
The pressure you get from management and the constant changes/requests. Expectations can be very intense but I mean it really preps you for anything.
