Pros

You'll like the people and what remains from the original Resource culture. The new office might be pretty cool when it's ready.

Cons

It is very top heavy, full of narcissists set in their ways of old advertising traditions. But they'll tell you how they're blazing the trail and becoming the agency of the future. Each day is a grind as you're micro-managed, told what to do and how to do it. Mindless creative is churned out around you and lauded as setting the bar high in the industry. The only inspiration you'll get is from the friends you'll make, all of which hate their jobs too. You'll leave, get home to your family and cherish being around people that care about you. Immediately, you'll be sucked right back into the seventh circle of hell as soon as your phone starts going nuts over some stupid issue that can wait until the next day. You'll stay up late, writing Glassdoor reviews to help ease your mind, wake up and do it all again. Once you reach the breaking point and start interviewing elsewhere, prospective employers become disinterested with you as all your skill, drive, and ambition have atrophied under the crushing weight of the megalomaniacs running the show at Resource.

Pros

Resource has a number of high-level clients with long-term relationships. This strategic alliance with their clients allows them a lot of flexibility to go beyond the normal agency work and bring reality-changing ideas to their customers. Employees will drink from the fire hose learning lots of different things about digital in a short amount of time. If you look back at many of the digital execs in Columbus, a large amount are former Resource employees and they always look to Resource for help. Lats of upward mobility available. There are lots of different things to do and different areas to specialize in. In my time, I witnessed employees move from a developers to strategists, designers to developers, interns to managers and consultant to conference speaker. These things aren't available in 98% of the jobs out there and that is why Resource is so unique in Columbus.

Cons

I don't have a whole lot of cons other than all the opportunities that are available mean employees have to work hard to learn. If a person is not a hard worker or hungry to learn, than this isn't a good place for you.
