Pros
Some really awesome people at McJ. Still talk to a lot of the friends I made there, even though I left in early 2020.
Cons
-Creative leadership does not trust anyone they didn't hire (with the exception of one special individual). -They nitpick every single piece of creative from social posts to B2B videos to banner ads. -They constantly change their mind and flip flop between feedback, making creatives work long hours to appease their whims. -They have no vision for the agency nor no understanding of what makes good creative good (or creative). -They don't understand a lot of the platforms that brands are currently activating on today. -Their focus is on the minutia, obsessing over small details (like a comped sticker on a laptop) that adds to the already long hours. -Nepotism. If they don't like you, you're on the chopping block. And, like I said, they don't like anyone they didn't hire. -No promotions or raises (at least while I was there). If anything, the opposite happened. -Not leaderships' fault per se, but the creative opportunities are extremely limited. Older clients are set in their ways and newer clients aren't totally bought in. -Creative leadership listens to no one and is constantly blaming others for their mishaps. -A lot of talk about D&I, but I can count the number of D&I employees on one hand. -They favor some (actually just one) accounts over others. -This is their first creative leadership role, so some bumps in the road are expected. But I've never seen such ineptitude in my life.
