Pros

The people. I have an incredibly high amount of respect for the people I worked directly with. They were smart, creative, versatile, and for the most part patient. Patience was key at this company, some had more than others. I genuinely enjoyed working alongside them and I am grateful for that experience. It is just too bad that we were all working where we worked.

Cons

Just about everything else. Pay was borderline insulting. Benefits were slashed. Clients seemed to always be on the cusp of dropping the company, which they eventually did. I can't speak for everyone but there was never a time where I felt like a valued employee. When I would think about quitting I felt as if the company would consider that a win because they would just hire some poor sucker straight out of college (me in 2013) and pay her/him less than I was making. Something this company would consider a win win. Oh and turnover was apocalyptic.

Pros

Extremely useful for learning the different faces on an advertising company and understand what it means to be part of a team. I learned multitasking, organizational, and creative skills that will help me in the future.

Cons

Environment can prove stagnant after a while.

Pros

It's located in a beautiful part of the Texas Hill Country

Cons

There are so many problems. Too many to even list here, but I'll attempt to be brief. The senior management and owner only cares about keeping the wool over employees eyes. Lots of false promises and empty jargon to appear like its a real agency that cares. The only reason clients are still there is because the company relies mostly on "friendships" with their clients, rather than doing innovative or great work. The president and her senior staff uses scare tactics of horrible agency "stories" to create fear of employees leaving, rather than building a culture to retain good talent, therefore producing respectable work as a real advertising agency. The company grew WAY too fast without experience or qualified people and it shows in every process, department and account. Clients are misled into partnering with a innovative company in the casino and gaming market, only to discover that MOSAK is so far behind the curve of technology that they're waiting for the coming of the DOT COM BOOM (which happened over a decade ago). When employees seek or demand better engagement, support or direction from leaders, it is seen as a threat. Personal feelings and business experience should never mix. Business is business. At MOSAK, they are incestual.
