- Former Employee★★★★★

RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Passionate and interesting colleagues. Lots of holidays and flexible PTO Lots of co curricular activities and perks
Cons
Rigid, old school ways of thinking/process Low/under pay gap Poor raises and promotion structure No clear job definitions with unreasonable expectations across roles Constant restructuring, reprocessing, rehashing with little fix to process problems. Clients who expect the moon and get upset when they don’t understand how things work. Expect LB to fix their internal problems.

Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The benefits are decent-ish and the people are pretty nice. Due to a lack of any exciting or challenging work, there was plenty of free time.
Cons
First off, I would caution all potential employees to dig, dig, dig. Ask loads of questions regarding your role title, what this entails, and what your day-to-day will look like. The management here has a tendency to mislead new hires, promising flexibility across mediums, when in reality they'll lock you into whatever departmental niche needs filling (i.e., if you're hired as a junior art director on the retail team, good luck ever getting experience with TV, social, or ANYTHING other than retail). Additionally, the creative output here is consistently brain-dead, safe, and uninspiring — mainly due to the client's (and legal's) chokehold on the team's every move.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Supportive team members who are always willing to help.
Cons
There seems to be at least 10 steps associated with doing anything either big or small.
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Parts of Office are OK.
Cons
The absolute worst office manager in the business who promotes the untalented hacks who cover for him and kiss his bum. Gets drunk at lunch. Talks bad about you to other employees behind your back. Loud and unprofessional. It's a complete and total embarrassment. HR knows all about it and does nothing. Some good creatives there, but they consistently produce the worst automotive work in the business.

Pros
cool clients, good people, nice benefits
Cons
average salary, quality of work depends on which client you're on
