Solid Company - Director of Sales and Marketing Moore & Scarry Advertising Employee Review

I have worked for Moore and Scarry for almost 9 months and couldn't have better things to say about this company. If you are a self starter that doesn't do micro-managing, then this company is for you. There are a ton of opportunities to climb the ladder as long as you are willing to work for it. It is a fast growing company so there are ample opportunities for you to carve out your perfect position. The atmosphere is fast paced where no two days are the same, but hard work doesn't go unnoticed. I started as an AC with little experience and have since risen through the ranks thanks to the help of all of my teammates.

The job is difficult, but if you are a self starter that wants to start a career in advertising, this is the right place for you.

Good experience for someone fresh out of school or new to advertising, just don't stay there too long, despite what they tell you it's a dead-end job. Laid back culture for the most part, majority of the people there are good fun to hang out with, free booze.

- Clients are scumbags - The work is mundane and never changes - The idea of new creative is recycling something from years ago or pandering to a new fad. - You'll learn the basics of advertising, but the clients are all car dealerships, and even the coolest dealership ad is still pathetic. Essentially every idea boils down to tricking customers into thinking they are getting a good deal - The agency itself is run by people who don't really know what they are doing. Any remotely interesting ideas brought up the ladder are just torn down to their basic parts and rebuilt in a way that gets as much money out of a client, as quickly as possible before they get smart and find a new agency to work with. - Work/life balance is a joke. Everyone is expected to kill themselves to satisfy the whims of the owners or a client - Benefits and pay are mediocre - Career growth is based entirely on you either pretending to be friends with the owners, or threatening to quit. - Combines the worst parts of two industries. A shady agency handling clients who are shady car dealers.
