Pros
Opportunity to work on iconic brands which is rare for a regional agency outside of London - Owner-managed company with real entrepreneurial mindset - Excellent salary and benefits - Talented workforce who care about what they do but without the egos you get at some agencies - The agency recognises talent and rewards quality. Some members of the team have been with the agency for over 15 years - An environment that encourages growth. It's not uncommon for team members to change career paths if they find a role within the agency that better suits their ambitions - Strong social culture - beer Friday's are a real plus!
Cons
- Not for the faint hearted. If you don't adapt well to change or challenging projects, then agency life probably isn't for you - The agency is really ambitious so you'll regularly be stepping outside your comfort zone which can be challenging - The management team isn't afraid to take risks and venture into new technologies. This can be uncomfortable at times but keeps things fresh - It's not always 9-5 but hard work doesn't go unnoticed
