Good benefits as it is part of Interpublic Group. Good people working there trying to do their best under the circumstances.

West Hollywood (Pacific Design Center) location not convenient to anywhere (except maybe the Beverly Center if you can possibly get out for lunch). Agency is a shell of it's former self after numerous account losses and management changes.

Advice to Senior Management

Your people are your biggest asset - in fact, they are your only asset. If you treat them fairly and with respect, you will get results back 10-fold.

Pros

Some of the people at Dailey are kind and hard-working people.

Cons

Dailey & Associates is incredibly cheap (and they have this reputation in the advertising community of Los Angeles). They do not give regular yearly raises or performance reviews and when they do, the raise is extremely small. If you have a problem with the how they handle reviews, specifically, if you wanted to go to HR about it, at Dailey, I wouldn't bother as there is only on person working in that department.

Unlike other IPG companies or other Los Angeles agencies, they no longer have Summer Hours available (be ready to stay until at least 5:00PM every Friday in the summer). Also, they are open the week between Christmas and New Years Eve (unlike other agencies). These two changes came about when Bruce Miller was named CEO.

Regardless of your position, be prepared to fork over roughly $80 a month of your salary to pay for the parking in the Pacific Design Center. Other IPG agencies in the Pacific Design Center pay for their employees to park there.

The agency does not care about company morale at all. It is all about the bottom line. They don't care about whom they have to lay off as long as they make their numbers.

Advice to Senior Management

The company needs new leadership across the board who are not set in their ways. The company is not modern, trendy, or heading in the right direction. As a result, it has not won any large business accounts and has lost several major clients.
