Pros

The benefits are good. There is alot of time off if you are able to take it.

Cons

The managers are horrible. Print and broadcast need new managers. No communication among those 2 departments resulting in loss.

Advice to Senior Management

New managers would help TM. Place has reduced from 750 people to 200. The managers cheat and lie.If you are a minority or a women forget it. All managers are white and have no organization skills. Most are in a click and cheating their way to the top. Lots of sexual harrassment going on and people who don't show up for work. It is being covered up by HR. Good working people are let go if they are not white and in the click. Things are covered up when reported. Employment laws not being followed.

Pros

great group of people to work with. there are a lot of talented individuals who come together to work together well.

Cons

there are really long hours sometimes depending on what project or deadline has to be met. This is pretty common.

Advice to Senior Management

there should be more consideration about making the environment more creative. for a creative agency, we sure do have too many white walls.

Pros

The people that care. There are several good people at TM that go out of their way to do a great job. The benefits are excellent, they are some of the best that I've seen. You get several vacation days, you have so many you have trouble taking them. Even when things are crazy, people find a way to laugh.

Cons

There isn't any accountability and people spend too much time blaming others. When people try to do the right thing to get work done, they are warned of the fine line. The company is separated and once projects hit a certain point team members wash their hands of it and it's a best of luck atmosphere.

Advice to Senior Management

To promote more of a team atmosphere and to work to change the culture to not have a dividing line between creative and production.

Pros

Decent pay, good benefits. At one time, the company was a great place to work compared with most agencies. Promotion within one's department is appropriately achievable. If you're male, you will enjoy more career opportunities than you will if you are female.

Cons

Typical cutthroat environment. No ability to make lateral moves within the company. If you have a desire to learn a different discipline and move to another area, you'll have to find somewhere else to work. Not a very woman-friendly company. Former Exec. Creative Director is known to have stated that "women can't be creative."

Senior management made some amazingly bad decisions during my tenure -- leaving a memo on everyone's chair overnight about a pay decrease; asking employees to temporarily relocate to visible empty cubes so that the company would appear more successful to visiting potential clients; chairman/CEO hosting a catered lunch served by tuxedoed butlers in the open atrium while newly laid-off employees carried out their belongings in boxes.

Advice to Senior Management

Introduce compassion and humility to your management style. A little common sense wouldn't hurt, either. Encourage career growth outside one's current job title.
