Pros

Solid benefits/401K Professional goals/leadership development is well-structured Opportunities to travel and work in offices around the world Great industry reputation Most leaders want to offer junior staff big opportunities and provide support needed.

Cons

Salary not up to industry standard Lots of "we're all creative" talk without actually rewarding/promoting people for their creativity Creative ideas often were only elevated or executed on if they came from the "creative" team versus account or digital teams

Pros

Big notable agency with large clients and great co-workers. Feels like a family and co-workers care about each other. As long as you're not on large accounts, work-life balance is good.

Cons

WS global and main offices seem to have all the perks and best opportunities for new business and large clients. Local office management is slightly clueless as how to mentor and grow employees. The office does enough PR to win awards like "Best Places to Work", but execution is really lacking. Perks in my specific office are actually provided by sister agencies and not actually Weber. Upper management is disconnected with staff untill they need you for something. There is rarely proper staffing for large projects and no real tools or resources available to use for audits or new business.
