Pros

Location Free Parking Global looks good on a resume McCann looks good on a resume Most people are gone by 4:30 (because no one cares)

Cons

Lacks process and team structure Lacks purpose (from clients and leadership) No Transparency Lack of advancement opportunities No reasoning behind pay or titles It Is not uncommon to hear misogynistic, homophobic or racist comments/jokes being said by both agency personnel and clients. Work is meaningless and often gets killed Creative and strategy is “vanilla” at best Global clients have no power and no marketing experience Leadership is nonexistent Blame and fear culture, your job will be threatened weekly Nothing you do here will prepare you for any other job you may get in the future. This agency gives Michigan a bad name. Most people who have worked on global, had such a bad experiences, they ended up leaving the state of Michigan all together. A lot of people get screwed over by HR when they leave The most unhappy Environment I have ever had the displeasure of working in!

Pros

- Big work. High visibility. Smart people. - There's a lot of camaraderie among the in-house folks, as the client can be a little difficult. - Things are looking up. No matter what has happened in the past, everyone is starting to look forward and concentrate on the future. - It's what you make it. While it feels a little corporate sometimes, your attitude about your work will be the ultimate determining factor in what you get out of the experience. This is a place for the self-starters, the self-motivated. You can do great things if you want to!

Cons

- There are some leftover bad attitudes from the merger. They'll drop off eventually, but you can sense it sometimes. To these people, I say, GET. OVER. IT. It will be healthier for you if you do. - More focused on traditional work. Not a ton of interest in digital. This will change! But that's how it is for now. - Senior leadership comes around like a blue moon and talks a big talk. But when they leave, things calm down and the people who run the day-to-day can continue concentrating on the work.
