Pros

Maybe the location, but that is subjective

Cons

If you have ever wondered what working in advertising was like in the age of Mad Men - look no further, as this place reeks of misogyny. From the crude comments, office attitude, demeanour of upper management and the blatant favourtism, this place is a cocktail for disaster. The 'alpha male' competition between supervisors and managers on the same team was laughable and they were just trying to out senior the other, and consequently the other team members would pay for it. Ladies, this is not the place for you and you will always be doing 10x the work than the personality hires. They also seem to have a thing for laying groups of people off, but covering their tracks and blaming it on a whole other sleuth of problems. Don't linger here too long as you will get caught in the black hole.

Pros

Office events, "unlimited" PTO (unless you have to work over Christmas break or weekends as many teams do), work on big-name accounts and advance your career

Cons

Your experience will vary greatly depending on your team. Mine is toxic, constantly passive-aggressive, and severely overworked. Classic case of people promoted to manager based on performance, but then not trained on how to be a leader. Management couldn't care less about your personal life and your struggles, and that's only part of why so many people are leaving
