Pros
- Mostly young and outgoing staff across deparments, most people are very welcoming
- Great office location in Center City
- Part of IPG (Also a con)
- Will be exposed to a lot of skills and experience due to everyone wearing many hats
Cons
- Poor management driving talented people from the agency. Run by PR-oriented people who do not fully understand other disciplines in the agency. CEO isn't very accessible unless it is about her favorite client. Nepotism in upper-management based on who is friends with CEO and President.
- Struggling financially with having layoffs in 2023 including their CFO. Resulted in less hiring and very short-staffed teams. Did not let new hires know this, so they came in to learn why teams were so poorly staffed.
- IPG has clamped down on them, resulting in Tierney trying to upsell clients much to their disinterest.
- Have three anchor clients but losing one of them would cause a disaster, so agency is always on pins and needles
- Lack of new business success, try to seemingly pitch everything even if they are not equipped to serve a prospective client
- Burn out is high, you will work much more than 40 hours per week and there is no solve since management refuses to hire more staff
