Pros

Private healthcare, everyone v friendly unless it's in a high stress work moment (unfortunately frequent), you might get lucky with a cool project, if high blood pressure agencies are ur vibe then you'll have a ball.

Cons

Despite the wild work on the website, it's a pitch and FMCG machine once you're in unless you luck out. High burnout, high turnover, bullying goes on despite 'mental health week' posts u might see as publicity. Clients aren't managed well which leads to lots of stress and leavers across departments.

Pros

It's been such a pleasure, joy and fresh air to work here. I'm respected, as is my work life balance.

Cons

Leadership hasn't always been consistent with their words and actions, making it feel scary and tumultuous at times.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
