Pros

Remote or hybrid flexibility depending on role and team.

Cons

Leadership culture is the biggest issue. Directors and VPs often behave in unprofessional ways, including bullying and intimidation. Discrimination and unequal treatment are real concerns. Employees do not feel safe speaking up. Reporting issues leads to retaliation, either directly or subtly. Management style is heavily micromanaged. Directors focus on control instead of trust, development, or clear direction. Poor people management. Feedback feels inconsistent, dismissive, or punitive rather than supportive.

Pros

-One of the healthiest agency environments I've experienced across multiple agencies and roles. -Leadership was overall accessible, self-aware and responsive to employee feedback. -Strong, authentic commitment to DEI, especially notable for a Southern-based agency. -Welcoming and inclusive team dynamics. I felt included from Day One into groups of long-tenured folks. -More sustainable work-life balance than is typical for agencies of similar size. -Regular trainings, agency events and knowledge sharing built a real sense of community. -Deep production capabilities which enables a "let's make this happen" mindset across the agency.

Cons

-Navigating resources and priorities could be challenging during busy periods (standard struggle for most agencies). -As a Southern-based agency, teams occasionally needed to overcome outdated regional stereotypes with new clients or partners. -Standard holding-company challenges around transparency, promotions and financials. -From an outside perspective, the recent Omnicom/IPG merger COULD have an impact on agency culture moving forward.
