Jack Morton Reviews

Pros

Independence, creative, and colaboration on project work
Opportunity to work with exciting clients

Cons

Over staffing of high level and junior employees very few middle career positions

Pros

Good benefits package. High profile projects. Excellent team support. Access to talented minds.

Cons

Corporate environment, and a lack of career growth for many. Salary and rates disparities. Office not appropriate for creative agency.

Advice to Senior Management

I would keep an eye on turnover, overuse of short term temporary freelancers, and the reasons for that. Focus on fostering long term team building and department growth.

Pros

Very friendly group of people to work with. Top management is brilliant. Interesting projects to work on with some of the best minds in the business. Everyone is willing to, and looking for ways to help each other out.

Cons

Slightly older people. Culture is young but personel does not match that yet. Average age is probably 35, and its hard to get in as a junior.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire more young bright minds to fill make the office feel like it aligns with the culture that Jack Morton espouses to be.

Pros

Jack Morton in Hong Kong is a great place to work for. Location is excellent, people are passionate about their work and you will meet a lot of interesting people and be out and about quite often.

Cons

Long hours during peak times and events.

Pros

They offer an balance of work and play. The office layout offers flexibility and opportunity. Team work is every day life.

Cons

They are quite far out from central London. Everything is very open plan which makes it hard sometimes to concentrate.

Pros

- Everyone is so nice and compliments each other whenever great work is produced. This encourages you to continuously produce better work next time.
- It is really a learning and entrepreneurial environment. Jack Morton is growing, so new developments are always happening. You are considered a leader, as well.
- Get involved with REAL work.

Cons

It's considered a smaller Boston agency, but other than that, I think JMW is awesome.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue being great!

Pros

really gets the opportunity in the marketplace -- a true brand experience agency... not a tradeshow or event company. so much more creative than its competitors.

Cons

still in the midst of an evolution from tactical event producer to brand experience agency, so there can be conflict... but that's unavoidable.

Advice to Senior Management

keep your eye on the long term vision and don't get distracted by the people who want you to run the place like GPJ (Jack is 10 million x better!)

Pros

Started to open up company to gain experience from different offices world wide. Strong company in the industry. Over all good work life balance for industry.

Cons

No mentoring available for remote workers. Turn over in upper management which made it difficult to have consistency in career growth.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep looking forward and involving entire company, regional offices in growth strategies. Over all changes made in last few years will hopefully pay off.

Pros

Great opportunities for personal growth.

Cons

No team work. Professional version of survivor. Revolving door. Questionable professional behavior at all levels.

Advice to Senior Management

More focus on your people. Practice what you preach.

Pros

Great clients & professional development

Cons

Leadership does not communicate to its employees. Leadership only sees a problem when the spreadsheet number are bad. To little to late.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your people.
