Good, not the best

Junior associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

An agency that provides different kinds of work for any career you want to build for yourself. Depending on your time & manager, you'll have support system that's willing to push you and give feedback to meet your professional goals

Cons

The pay is just too low for entry-level positions here. Better to come back with more experience as a manger or above

Pros

Great place to start your career as you gain your footing. Breadth of access to various accounts and work projects

Poor salary, fake environment

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Cool office -Hip vibe -Mostly nice people

Cons

-Salary is awful and not competitive, no bonus or incentive structure -Benefits are awful, coverage is poor, hard to use effectively, 401k match doesn't vest for 3 years (you lose all employer contributions) -Classic corporate vibe, PR company that spins its own craft on its employees and expects them to thank them for telling lies -Required hours tracking down to the 15 minute slot, no overtime, unrealistic (hidden) utilization targets, low opportunity for advancement -Plenty of back-patting, but no tangible recognition of benefits -Claims to be forward-thinking and progressive but supports some of the worlds most detrimental companies, with strong ties in corporate healthcare, fossil fuels, fast food manufacturers and many more -Punishes employees for deviating from corporate culture, CEO and local leaders feel like fake personalities; lots of fancy lip service to good causes and employee support, but again, none of it is backed up by actual action.
