      Disparity at it’s finest.

      Pros

      The benefits, PTO and work sponsored events are great. If you are lucky and work for a fair manager your work/life balance will be wonderful.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, my manager is unfair and my work/life balance and pay is sad to say the least. I’ve spoken with my manager numerous times regarding this issue and she couldn’t care less. I brought this issue directly to HR, along with the pay disparity and HR’s response was almost as if I was bothering her. My colleague and I have worked at AC for the same amount of time and have the same job title, however she is paid 10k more than me. I am a minority and she is not. My colleagues in other departments with fair management do not have this issue.

      Pros

      Good work life balance, good benefits package, free snacks all day, flexible work schedule(s), bereavement time off.

      Cons

      Although the organization embraces diversity, it's the complete opposite. Employees who aren't white aren't paid the same as whites (male or female) are paid, especially black employees. Some of the executives take advantage or abuse the company's entitlements.

      We continue to work hard on our diversity efforts and are very intentional to ensure every Ad Council employee has a voice. We do recognize it’s a journey to achieving all our goals and are deeply committed to doing so. And, even when we do achieve some, we know the work is never done. Our CEO takes this commitment very seriously and encourages staff to reach out on any inequities they believe may be happening or even personally feeling. We are an evolving organization and comments like yours help us to navigate towards a brighter future for all Ad Council employees.
