Pros
- Remote work environment *Though I will caveat this by saying things will probably change at some point following the disaster that is the Publicis acquisition and the demands of certain accounts. If you're located in a city with Publicis office space, you will most likely be required to go in office at some point. - Likeminded, competent coworkers (for the most part) *Outside of upper management, everyone doing the actual work to keep the company afloat was hardworking, kind, and deserved better treatment.
Cons
I could write a dissertation on how awful of a place this is to work. Before I started this job, I had read multiple reviews citing horrid upper management and borderline abusive working conditions but unfortunately was not in a position to turn down a job. If you are someone thinking about taking a job at this company and value your mental/physical health in any capacity, I urge you to run as far away as possible and find work literally anywhere else. My experience with upper management was horrific and demoralizing. I had a manager who was so cruel and awful to me and the rest of my team that multiple people (including myself) suffered from panic attacks weekly and were forced to take short term leave as a result. HR was made aware on several occasions about this individual's approach to leadership (bullying, straight up calling people dumb, etc.) but did nothing. I assume the lack of action taken to remove this person is/was due to an apathy toward the obvious high turnover environment as well as general laziness/complacency. The effects this company had on me will stay with me for a very long time. This is a place that outwardly presents as employee-first while internally employees are battling blatant toxicity and keeping things afloat with little to no guidance from upper management.
