Pros

Nice coworkers, good general digital marketing exposure, excellent vacation time, considered to be a great agency

Cons

The marketing exposure offered is irrelevant to your job, it's just cool marketing stuff that you should know in case you find yourself in an elevator with someone you're trying to impress. The training that's relevant to your role is zero. Expect to be thrown into the wild despite being promised ample training opportunity and time. Huge silos between client teams. Your colleague on one client could have an excellent and challenging experience, while you on another client may have a dry and frustrating experience and be under-compensated and overworked.

Pros

There are tons of opportunities to learn about advertising and media if you look for them. Representatives from Google, Yahoo, AOL, etc. come often to give presentations about the industry and upcoming projects. Employees run sessions on interesting industry topics. Culture-wise, the hours are not bad and there are a lot of fun events to look forward to. You'll become an Excel and Powerpoint expert and learn about growing data visualization tools like Tableau. The initial pay is very good compared to the rest of the industry, however, raises are hard to come by.

Cons

The work can be boring. For the most part, in Strategy & Analysis, you will be doing analytics work - dashboards, reporting - and not working on strategy. Your analysis does not always translate into business decisions and there are quite a few projects there are only presented internally. There is a disconnect between senior leadership, who are looking for innovations, and mid-level managers, who are for the most part looking to keep the status-quo/keep clients happy. Opportunities for growth are largely based on the team you are assigned to. Chances are you will not be working on one of the game-changing projects. Raises/promotions can take several months to be processed and implemented.

Pros

People are incredibly friendly, supportive, and great co-workers. Lots of fun events, and a great culture. Not only the type of people that you want to work with, but also the type of people that you want to be friends with. In addition, clients are all nationally recognized and present challenging yet fun opportunities.

Cons

At times it feels like the hours you end up putting in for work do not match the salary that you think you should be getting.
