Pros

People are really friendly and you learn very fast in a pressurized environment.

Cons

Upper management has all the power and doesn't listen to the wants and needs of the designers. Money is a big issue in Oliver they pay peanuts. Creative directors do all the creative work and none is given to the designer. Oliver sees designers as production machines. Just keep the client happy. OLIVER undercuts other agencies all the time and the person that it affects is the designers. Working late hours with no overtime pay or time off. A development plan is put in place. You work hard to achieve those goals and nothing is given in return. Recommend all designers to avoid OLIVER.

Pros

A place where you can have freedom to be entrepreneurial.

Cons

Salary increase freeze on-going into the fourth year. Do more with as little a possible mentality. Entire agency is stressed and burnt out. Leadership is jumping ship and higher ups do not care how poor morale is.
