Pros

Nice office and location in Soho (but leaving that area I guess ). PTO, free snacks & booze to trap you in the office. Decent salaries for mid / top level employees - but you’re selling your soul for that $$.

Cons

Some of the worst leadership and management I’ve encounter in a NYC agency life. Constant micromanaging and “throwing people under the bus”. Major creative and production department changes without notice and briefing. CEOs and dept heads who destroy or drastically change and water down good employee work. Not for the good of the client - but for their own overinflated egos and sense of self- worth. They only care about awards. Definitely not people. A garbage agency. Newer big name clients just mean they work everyone to death ( with no need ! ). Feel really sorry for the number of other people on visas stuck there. If you are international - stay away! They will trap you with the visa and treat you like dirt for the ensuing time.
