Pros

Good benefits package – use them as soon as you start, otherwise when they decide to lay you off, you lose everything.

Cons

Poor opportunities to showcase your work due to budget constraints. Cheap operations from hubs taking over talent in local markets make clients consider our work cheap for insane workloads. Underpaying for your talent is real. I was 75% below the market for my role in my location.

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.
