Pros

Excellent healthcare benefits, good people who get their work done. A good spot to work for a few years if needed but nothing to consider as a long term play. The work with clients goes up and down. Mostly down as of recent.

Cons

HR/Compensation is a hot mess. New policies and programs every year, managers have no say in how raises are implemented. Incredibly siloed. You work at a small company within an enormous organization. The efforts to make it seems like a cohesive company are hollow, uninspiring, and confusing.

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.
