Toxic Workplace, Floundering Leadership
Pros
There are some great and incredibly intelligent people at the agency, who are great at their jobs. The pay and benefits are great, especially at the entry level.
Cons
There is an increasingly toxic workplace culture that prides themselves on working well beyond business hours and being ready to fire an employee the second they question the status quo. Upper leadership is pretty ineffective with empty promises and will praise your work, then tell you you're not doing enough within the same sentence. There are clearly company favorites, with people being promoted to manager incredibly fast, though they are not equipped to manage that responsibility, while others are held to unrealistic standards with no clear direction as to what can be done to further improve performance. Maximizing your output and doing as much work as you can is the priority here, whether or not it is necessary or healthy for you.
