Interesting work, terrible management.

Pros

Produced portfolio worthy, interesting work.

Cons

Management is dishonest. There is a lack of transparency. They will tell their employees what they want to hear instead of confronting and resolving internal issues. There is no growth opportunity within the company. If you are promoted to a management position, existing management will take over your job responsibilities due to a lack of trust. It does not matter if existing management does not specialize in your field of work, in their mind they know best. If you have childcare responsibilities, this place is not for you. According to the person in charge, they prefer hiring people who do not have children. This place is filled with empty promises. The five star reviews are fake...we were asked to write positive reviews to increase the company's rating while trying to hire new people.

Pros

The colleagues at Unleaded are hard working and drama free, which is unusual in ad agencies. Owner is hands-off and does not interfere with day-to-day agency traffic

Cons

At present, the agency exclusively caters to a singular major client, predominantly engaging in production-oriented tasks with a noticeable absence of substantial creative endeavors. Strikingly, there is a conspicuous void in leadership roles such as a Chief Creative Officer or Creative Directors with a strong emphasis on advertising and design. Within the organizational structure, the Creative Team finds itself in a subordinate position to the Marketing Team, receiving creative directives solely from the Chief Creative Officer. This arrangement has led to a palpable deficit on the creative front, contributing to an overall deficiency in innovative output. The Chief Marketing Officer, originating from a consulting background, lacks any prior exposure to the realm of creative endeavors. This dearth of experiential understanding, coupled with a limited grasp of creative processes, manifests as a hindrance to fostering an environment conducive to imaginative exploration. Unfortunately, dissenting perspectives are unwelcome, creating an environment devoid of the safety necessary for constructive creative critiques. Yes-People are welcome and Supportive Truth tellers are not. The agency, in consequence, is witnessing a depletion of its client base, rendering its current trajectory unsustainable.
