Limited Growth Opportunities

Business Outlook

Pros

Pleasant people - great work life balance. Exposure to many facets of the advertising industry.

Cons

Limited opportunities for growth from the junior level - senior and mid level management are comfortable in their roles and going nowhere. Some portions of mid level and senior management are cliquey to a fault. Major strategic decisions are outsourced to consultants with limited input from the boots on the ground. Lots of lip service paid to culture improvements by senior management but transparency is limited.

Pros

Location is good, comp & benefits and work/life balance are decent.

Poor culture (in spite lip service), cliquish and the place is run by people who are neither smart nor skilled in their respective roles. All critical thinking is outsourced!
