Socially awkward and elitist work environment but decent otherwise
Pros
I learned so much working here. It really is a great experience for folks early on in their careers. Work & Co. is a recognizable, reputable agency and when you move on, there will be a certain level of prestige that comes from having Work & Co. in your work history. Decent pay, great benefits - although some of the nicest benefits have waned as of 2023. Nice offices with snacks and lunches.
Cons
I wholeheartedly agree with the other reviewers - there is definitely an "in" crowd. If you aren't part of that elite group, you won't work on any interesting/meaningful projects or even be acknowledged. Whether you become part of this group feels really arbitrary and in some ways, biased. There's an overall lack of community and camaraderie and a general coldness in the organization. I wondered if some folks at work even knew who I was after being there for years. This doesn't seem like a huge deal at first - work is work, sometimes coworkers don't have great rapport and its not a big deal - but it becomes super discouraging as time goes on. Be ready to continuously feel awkward and uncomfortable in work environments. Nearly impossible to get a promotion or move forward in your career.
