Pros

Hands down one of the top shops in Miami. I’m a big fan of the way teams are organized between departments–it’s a collaborative structure that allows for roundly developed creative work backed by sound strategy and data. Expectations are high, but teams are given a great degree of autonomy in developing original campaigns and ideas. Best of all, the company has created a super-efficient workflow dynamic that consistently produces award-winning advertising within normal office hours (9-6), which for me, I love, because I get to make creative I’m proud of and still have time to enjoy my life (which often isn’t the case in this business). In terms of the brands, WMX's clients are varied and highly globalized with campaigns running all over the world in multiple languages and markets. As a creative, in particular, there are tons of opportunities to impact many different accounts and add a ton of variety to your portfolio in a short time. On to the bennies: simply put the WMX benefits package is next level. If you’re on your fitness game, the gym program is second to none, with a free membership to one of the best gyms and Miami and the freedom to use it during lunch. The Healthcare package is top-notch, generous and easy to use. Working from midtown is also great with a lot of restaurants and shopping to take advantage of during breaks, lunch, and after work. Last but not least, the WMX Friday night happy hour is a long-running tradition not to be missed! Full bar, great people, and always an awesome way to end the week. I highly recommend WMX to any and all ad folk who are interested in working at a growing boutique shop with a bright future.

Cons

None to speak of, so far so good!

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.
