Pros

Fully remote, flexible work schedules, fast paced and innovative teams with well experienced colleagues

Cons

Severe downward push on cost constraints, team reductions, and amplifying workloads to unsustainable levels. Constant desire to win more business, rather than focus on success for current clients. Challenges with integrating more recently acquired agencies into the core brand

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
