Pros

You don't need a degree or experience. They will promote you much faster than an average agency in order to keep at the company. (Larger role with still poor pay.)

Cons

They take advantage of people who will work hard and many hours with low pay. Very low pay for the industry. You will not be paid for overtime but expected to work it. Taking lunches and vacations are frowned upon. Management creates an unprofessional environment. All personal/professional discussions with management are not private. Benefits are not good. An Account Executive at this agency is at an Account Coordinator level at an established agency. Most positive reviews are asked to be done by Management.

Moore & Scarry Advertising Response

I am sorry to hear you are having a negative experience at Moore & Scarry Advertising. We strive every day to have a professional environment that is centered around a family focus. Our Account Executives as well as our Jr. Account Executives get paid an aggressive commission structure. Because our AE's are making a significant level of decisions and manage a team of people they are an exempt employee therefore they are a salaried position. If you feel your pay is not accurate, or you are not receiving your overtime pay (if you are at an AC or JR. AE position), please reach out to our HR Manager.

Pros

The company was dynamically forward in thinking in it's work and representing auto dealer clients to the consumer market. It's a young fast-paced company that likes to produce solid work and expects the best out of their employees and they pay well for it.

Cons

No cons. It's a job. You perform or you leave.

Pros

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.

Cons

- 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.
