Pros

None at all avoid this horrible company.

Cons

This company promises you the world, and terminates employees every few weeks out of nowhere. Was there 5 weeks, got several bonuses for meeting goal, in all kinds meetings was praised for doing great, then got terminated for performance . What? Makes no sense at all !

Pros

The people you work with in all departments are friendly and talented, there is free breakfast every Friday, and depending on the clients you work with, you can feel like you're actually making a positive impact. Overall a really fun place to work that helps grow your skills.

Cons

This is probably standard for an ad agency, but some employees aren't paid what they are worth and sometimes it's hard to feel valued by higher-ups.

Pros

Johnson Group's portrayal of a 'family' culture is misleading and often results in excessive workloads with no additional pay. Under this guise, management exploits employees, expecting them to handle overwhelming responsibilities traditionally managed by larger teams. This issue is exacerbated by the constant layoffs that contribute to an ever-present sense of job insecurity among the staff. Additionally, the agency is in a perpetual state of chaos, constantly scrambling to secure new clients as existing ones frequently alter their payment agreements, destabilizing the financial structure. The work environment is not only unstable but also intensely cliquey, with a clear division between the management's favorites and other employees. These favorites are often shielded from the more demanding aspects of client engagements, leaving the heavier burdens on those not in the inner circle. To make matters worse, Johnson Group recently disbanded its HR department, stripping employees of any formal avenue to address grievances or seek career guidance. This decision has stripped the workplace of what little humanity it had left, turning it into a soulless operation. The atmosphere at Johnson Group is not conducive to professional growth or personal well-being. Opportunities for advancement are biased, reserved for a select few, and the overall environment is toxic and rude. If you value your health and professional development, I would strongly advise looking for opportunities elsewhere where growth and respect are integral to the company culture.

Cons

Frequent layoffs, no HR department, excessive workloads without extra pay, unstable client payments, intensely cliquey, favoritism, lack of professional growth, dehumanizing work environment, low pay
