great accounts, good place to start for a year or two

Business Outlook

Pros

You really get some great exposure and time on well recongnized brands. The firm has big accounts and it's a great learning experience if you're new to the industry.

Cons

push pull of the economy...when times are tough they fire everyone. After Sept 11 and in the winter of 2008 the firm has gone down to a skeleton staff for months, and in some cases closed the office. It's unmotivating if you are able to work thru it all.

Business Outlook

Pros

IA has cool clients, I met great people working there who became mentors and friends and supported me professionally while in the company. Made the best out of it by diving in the deep and learning more about client and team management as well as leadership.

Cons

I left the company burned out; worked was dumped on me and had been turning to leadership for support but no action was taken. Terrible work-life balance. Low pay, below industry standards.
