      Disappointing. A lot of smoke and mirrors! - Advertising / Creative WMX Employee Review

      Pros

      The company provides alcohol on Fridays for happy hour which leaves very lush individuals making it harder to work and be subjected to obnoxious behavior. Primarily from the "Account Executives" as they call them here "Client Partners." They pay 100% health insurance if you select HMO, and they pay a mediocre gym membership. You can wear sneakers.

      Cons

      They are all in "cliques." Hypocrisy in every level of occupation. From managers and directors who only obtained their positions because they had personal friendships with the owners, to the most obnoxious group I have ever met which happen to be the Client Partners and Search Marketing teams. They all seem to be entry level and not seasoned professionals. No leadership and no training for your position. Strict no cell phone policy, and you are considered late if you step into the office 'on time.' The CEO has idiosyncrasies that makes everyone insane. Specifically about who is allowed to brew coffee. Not because they are concerned with the machine itself, nope. It is because the CEO only cares about how he takes his own coffee. You are not allowed to brew a separate batch for yourself. How depressing. They are very fast at passing down intimidation so that employees never feel stable. Extremely old computers that often break down and only operate on Windows. Some of us are lucky to use Macs but I feel sorry for the majority that don't. What creative agency do you know that still does this? Lastly, It is a revolving door of people starting positions and then leaving. Every person I met has only just started, or have a few months in the company. There is no long term. This is a very small advertising agency that is barely holding it together. This is not a good place to work.

      Pros

      I've been working here for more than 3 years already and hopefully i'll stay many many years more... the culture is awesome; they make you feel part of a big family. The company cares about your career, therefore they give you all the support and training needed for you to grow. The company pays in full for healthcare and they also give you a credit card to pay for your deductibles (so basically you don’t pay anything for doctors or prescriptions). A LOT OF DAYS OFF… The regular 15 days off plus holidays including the day after Thanksgiving, the day after Christmas, the day after New Year’s Eve and also an extra day off per year that you work there (3 more for me). On top of that, they give you 3 days off in the Summer, not counting when the owner let the company go home early for no reason or even better, take the whole company to the movies, bowling or cirque du soleil all paid… yup, all paid. Talking about money, I have been getting compensation increases on my yearly reviews, I already got a promotion as well. (Every paycheck on time, not even a day late…Love it!

      Cons

      They're very strict with the time that you get to work (9:01 is consider late). At the beginning I had some trouble getting used to it, but now I'm ok with it. You cannot use your cellphone here, but they give you a lan line that you can use without any questions asked. Don't have much to say here since I'm happy at this place.

      Thank you for your feedback. Being on time is considered an aspect of professionalism, whether on-time delivery of assets, arriving at a meeting at the designated time, or arriving at work at the time expected. We are glad that you adjusted to that aspect. And while cell phone use was restricted previously, as you pointed out, landlines were always available so that employees could speak with their loved ones and stay connected. You'll be happy to hear that policies evolve over time and the cell phone policy was one of those. thanks again for taking the time to share.
