Pros

They take chances on people fresh out of college. When I worked here, the job market was still recovering from the economy. To keep it brief, the skills I developed here helped me build my career for which I will be forever grateful.

Cons

It's a smaller company so with that comes smaller company politics (which is or isn't as bad as corporate politics depending on how you look at it).

Pros

I met some great people and learned a lot about marketing. Management genuinely seemed to care about staff and tried to provide a decent benefit package and work environment. They did many nice things for me I'll always be grateful for. You can advance quickly within the company. For the area, it's a good opportunity and I'm glad I worked there.

Cons

There were several unethical and unprofessional moments that ultimately led me to quit. Another employee (who was fired) spent over six months harassing me and making my life miserable before they were let go. It was hard to recover from that, always left a sour taste in my mouth. I didn't think compensation (as much as they tried) was good for the amount of work/stress and revenue generated for the company. There were favorites in the office. Ironically, the favorites produced the least amount of work or tangible output. There were some outright bad hires leading to office toxicity, and they were not removed quickly. Interoffice communication was actively monitored and felt intrusive. Finally, there were several accounts where the work wasn't up to par. Many were upside down (the client spending more on our fees plus ad spend) or the account was only profitable because of brand terms. When I'd hit walls with clients, I felt like I didn't have resources. I ended up paying for consulting on my own and quickly learned how far behind I was. Any suggestion the company pay for outside training was dismissed. There are other things, but they aren't worth mentioning on a public forum.

Pros

Work on variety of accounts in different industries. Constantly learning new techniques and applications. The staff is really good at what they do, I work with some really great people.

Cons

Some of the previous people that worked at the company were really negative and their life frustrations effected their jobs. They brought other people down with them.
