Pros

You learn how NOT to do things. You learn how NOT to treat your employees and co-workers. You learn how NOT to sit back and let middle management run the company into the ground.

Cons

What a joke and waste of time. When interviewing at other companies to leave Moxie, literally every place I talked to was like "oh, you're at Moxie? How is it over there? I've heard it's a real mess." That's extremely embarrassing and even had one lady tell me that their Creative and CRM teams won't touch a Moxie resume because the employees are never trained properly. Moxie is nothing but a front. You have SVPs of this, that and the other talking about "advanced technologies and capabilities" at Moxie but the truth is no one can execute any of it. It's hard to develop custom technologies when you wipe out your entire Development department who knows somewhat how to do things. During my time at Moxie, there were several times that AR was sold in and had to be farmed out to vendors to actually perform the work. Talk about FALSE ADVERTISING! Middle management is full of overgrown children who never left middle school antics behind. For whatever reason, the cattiness and bullying behavior goes unaddressed especially in the AM/PM departments. They treat their employees very poorly hence the reason why so many people have left in the past year most of whom left within 18 months of starting at Moxie. You likely will never be promoted at Moxie especially if you are entry to mid level. Moxie's outlook on talent is that everyone under a VP is replaceable and it is cheaper to replace you than reward you for your hard work and dedication to the company. They simply do not have the mindset of grooming people for growth and always look outside to hire instead of starting within. Seems like the only way to get promoted these days is when half of your department quits and you're the only one there to do the work after 4 years in the same position. YES, 4 YEARS! Be ready to work 60+ hours a week and be completely over allocated. For whatever reason, management prides itself on over allocating people. It's not uncommon that someone is sold in at 100% for two clients and told to "make it work." How about you hire enough people to staff the projects you contract? There will be a day when client's audit you and realize you double dip. Can't wait to see what happens then. Lastly, after the year that Moxie has had with discrimination, sexism and scandals, I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that lawsuits are looming.

Pros

While your male counterparts are seen as "talented," "boundary pushing," and "analytical thinkers," what will be YOUR label? - Difficult - Abrasive - Combative - Aggressive OR - Argumentative To find out just: 1. be a woman 2. have an opinion AND 3. work at Moxie!

Cons

But wait... there's more! Get ready to be condescended to on a daily (almost hourly) basis, be paid significantly less than your male counterparts, AND have your ideas stolen by male higher-ups... just for being a woman in creative!

Pros

they offer stupid perks like free lunch to distract you from the real things you should care about in benefits and work-life balance

Cons

ZERO work-life balance. I left this place because I never stopped working, and for peanuts! They know it, so in your interview they'll challenge you to think about keeping up with the pace of their awesome-ness- when in reality they're just trying to bill more to clients through hours. I left the company for a higher paying position, jumped my pay 25k. Then, got recruited for a different position, jumped another 25k with second calling. In the amount of time I left, taking the second company's offer, I make 6 figures - having doubled my original Moxie salary. In the 4 years I spend at Moxie, I know I'd never see such money staying, being loyal - helping them with turnover issues and all that, for what?! You're expected to work on days you take off with your Flex and Vacation pay. You're expected to work on Holidays and weekend when the company is closed, you know - because advertisements save lives. You're tied to the phone they provided you, maintaining varied correspondence like you're on-call 24/7. Health plan changes from corporate are drastic from 2015 to 2016, as many expected. Deductible more than doubled, covered provides and services changes drastically. However, they convince you to join the Flex HSA - guess what happens is if you leave the company! All the money you put in is lost if you didn't spend it already. Ridiculous, if you put your money aside, it shouldn't matter if you exit your employment, it is STILL YOUR MONEY!
