Pros

Pay was good in comparison to most competitors. I know the Nike team is always insane and relatively unpleasant if you want work-life balance. But since I wasn't on Nike, I worked pretty consistent hours.

Cons

R/GA isn't a bad place to work but I certainly did not enjoy it. I worked on a non-Nike team and it was a total waste of my time. My manager(s) were fine, but all of my co-workers were definitely incompetent. I was lied to about the work I was going to be doing, I was lied to about my benefits and PTO time. So... very bad HR. They basically told me anything to get me hired on and after a short period of time I decided I needed to work in a more professional, higher caliber office.

Pros

The work is very interesting and R/GA has many high profile clients. The people are also extremely talented and one of the best things about R/GA is being able to work w/ these people (although I would exclude a good portion of the recent hires from this description). Also, the company compensates people very well as far as salary and health benefits go.

Cons

There is very little recognition for regular, everyday employees and the tiny bit that exists often times gets directed at the wrong people/person. Also, employees ping pong back and forth between here and other ad agencies. When people quit, you know that you are going to see them working again at R/GA again within a year or so, and that somehow they are going to end up being your boss. Another thing is that the work day can be a very long day indeed, much more than the standard 8 hours.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are generous. The company generally is a good place to work and the people are easy going and friendly.

Cons

The structure of the company is largely beginning to reflect traditional agency influence. The atmosphere of the company does not promote strong creative or interactive work. Advancement is generally time based and ability is not recognized or rewarded. Personal career development is normally a outside of job activity. Also people are viewed more as resources and treated as production pipelines rather than organic teams.
