Pros
Ansira is a good place to start off your career for a number of reasons: - Potential to be added to an awesome team, there's a lot of AMAZING people that work at Ansira. - All the components of a full-blown marketing company - Legitimately cool and welcoming environment/culture (at least in Dallas) - Training is done different per team, but my training was excellent.
Cons
I'd suggest not staying at Ansira too long (especially in CP - Account Rep) because: - Below average industry pay rates - There are a lot of people in creative that are working on digital/social creative but have no education or experience with social or digital ads. Huge problem. - Projects are bogged down by inefficient internal processes & bureaucracy.. and no one has any interest in improving this - Constant demand for overtime work with no compensation - Divisions within the company like creative project managers are MASSIVELY understaffed and the hiring managers do nothing for months to fix the issue - People that are just "getting by" and doing the minimum within the company have, and will be sticking around for years. These people need to be replaced with A level talent. - HR does not pay nearly enough attention to employees from a retention standpoint. Backup plans for account loss or restructuring should not be an afterthought. BIG issue with retaining top talent.
