Pros

Note this is for Chicago Office: Fun Culture, Free Breakfast Fridays, Catered lunches monthly, Monthly Town Halls, Fun atmosphere, Laid back environment; Beer 30 Fridays; Whiskey Club; Wine Club; Nice Work Outings;

Cons

Unorganized Processes; Too many politics; Takes years to get promoted; Terrible resourcing - some people were completely spread thin, while others had absolutely nothing to do; If you weren't in the "social" circle, you weren't being recognized or promoted, or even given any projects; Too much favoritism; The place is extremely cliquey; Way too many layoffs and turnovers; Career Development needs a lot of work; I think the agency overall has gotten too cocky

Amazing people at CM, so kind

Cons

Terrible leadership that does not care about you in the slightest. You wont get promoted, you will also be gas lit into believing your're being paid well
