Pros
Very little drama relative to other agencies (with a few exceptions based on the account you’re on). Lots of trust given if you get a good manager, and there are more good managers than bad here. The clients are incredible and buy in to the idea of premium which is what they come to GPJ for, but it also means the bar is high. But the ESOP is the golden handcuffs.
Cons
Low pay. Expect 10-15% below market, and even then you sometimes hear leaders mentioning that HR costs are too high. Most accounts have no drama but there are some projects where everything is drama all the time, and that’s primarily caused by a handful of people who have made it to director or senior director titles who lack courage or are in over their heads but are afraid to admit it.
