Pros

You meet a lot of talented people thanks to the revolving door. Located in the heart of River North. Grungy garage office atmosphere; modern, open layout. Unfortunately everyone can hear everything that goes on in the bathroom and it is awkward for clients to decipher when they visit the office. There’s also years of dust caked in every corner. Pay was decent, but not the best (understandable for a small agency) – there is always room to grow financially elsewhere.

Cons

Revolving door of a dysfunctional agency that doubles as a frat house. Favoritism runs rampant, predominately for male employees. Unsurprisingly, upper management is only comprised of Caucasian males in their 40s/50s, perpetuating the Mad Men stereotype rather than moving forward to create an inclusive and diverse work space. It was disappointing to witness those in charge act like mean girls, inappropriately talking behind employees backs instead of working with the individuals to resolve their issues. All internal dysfunctions of the agency are laid out for all to see, from founders to interns. While there are several Creative Directors, none are willing to offer mentorship or guidance to the lower-level creatives. Ironically, lower-level creatives are often made scapegoats for failed outcomes of peculiar passion projects not properly communicated from leadership. Arrogant, condescending attitudes all around. The agency is built on negativity with little to no support, it’s not a collaborative environment. They hold in all criticism and displeasure, silently keeping score against you instead of encouraging growth and improvement. They praise creatives who directly trace and copy stock illustrations, claiming them as their “own” – interns who excel at this are asked to stay. There are simply too many cliché hands in the cookie jar. Room for growth is limited. They only promote advancement for employees of similar “mold”.

Plan B Response

"This "review" is one in a series of suspicious "reviews" that have been flagged as inauthentic, in violation of the terms of the GlassDoor community. This series of posts appears to be drafted by a single individual who has clear animus towards our company and we do not believe that these posts are representative of the experiences of our employees. Our company is always appreciative of honest and constructive feedback posted in forums such as Glassdoor. That said, we believe this recent series of posts to be disparaging and posted by one individual who seeks only to sabotage the reputation of our company, and that of the hard working and talented professionals in our company. As such, we feel compelled to respond and deny the false claims made in these posts. Our company remains committed to our respected employees who have chosen our agency as a place to work, grow and take their careers to the next level."
