Pros
As someone who has been involved in the advertising space for about 5 years now, I would say PPK has been the healthiest agency I've worked at. I've worked at large agencies and small ones and nothing has compared to PPK. However, in my time here, I have noticed that staff tend to be significantly underpaid than the value you they bring to the table. There are so many talented and hardworking people at this agency, however, upper management refuses to pay a salary to lower level employees (not director level) that is far from acceptable for the work we are doing and the area we are living in. Don't get me wrong, Tampa is not NYC but it also isn't cheap and the agency has recognized that but refuses to give raises or salaries that are appropriate for the workload and area. This year, no one received raises supposedly due to the economic climate we are in with client's making budget cuts and what not. This is understandable, however, they are still awarding promotions with no pay raise. Overall, I have loved working for this agency, the account and the people. The energy here is unlike anything else I've experienced (in a good way), but PPK does NOT pay their employees what they deserve and what they are worth, which in this day and age is unacceptable.
Cons
Mediocre pay compared to other agencies and industry standards
