Pros

Great for your first entry-level job. FH will give you great exposure to brands and help you build your client roster on your resume. Another pro at FH is the people who work there, you have a great opportunity to build your network and actually connect with people you would like to hang out outside work.

Cons

The company is not willing to invest in their talent. They will keep losing good employees by not paying them a fair salary for all the amount of work that they make you do. Yes, my friend, be ready to work overtime and miss out on some fun weekends!

Pros

My team was full of (mostly) smart and great people, I made great friends and learned a lot.

Cons

Pay is DISMAL. I am now (less than one year departed from FH) making almost double what I was making there. I am now at an agency that requires less billable hours a day, so essentially making double the money for less work. Everything at FH feels antiquated, and far too corporate to truly foster creativity. The review structure is prehistoric, needs to be revamped and restructured. I had one manager who didn't want weekly or biweekly check ins- there should be a more structured management system so that people aren't essentially ignored by their superiors. Senior leadership played serious favorites, they threw one VP a office-wide going away party when she was really only leaving for a year, and another VP who was leaving FH for good, didn't even get a goodbye. Clients will begin to leave for smaller, more creative and fast-moving shops if FH continues to lose great employees and ignore creativity.

Pros

Has retained a solid reputation based on big, long-lasting clients. Attracts the cream of the crop for its paid internships.

Cons

Watch your back. Political intrigue is rampant - New York office is choc-a-block with sycophants. Has been shedding its "legacy" employees in droves. Offices share very little - including culture. St. Louis is the center of what, exactly?
