Pros
Some strong clients/brands which are notable for your resume
Cons
Where do I begin? In my opinion the female CEO is a toxic narcissist. This company needs a major management overhaul. You will be hired but no one will give you any real direction or try to set you up for success. Regardless of how much experience you have you still need an employer to set clear expectations and to help guide you. There is a lot of hours here without work life balance and a tendancy to blame everyone for what comes down to poor leadership. The female founder (the owners are a couple) seems to enjoy using being a female to raise her profile but I saw the opposite of any kind of female support - felt very high school and behind the scenes unprofessional. There are some very smart people working there but I kept wondering why they stay because there are many opportunities for someone hard working and smart willing to take that kind of grueling schedule - esp in the agency world. I felt as though my blood pressure and stress were higher than at any other job and was sinking into depression with each coming day. The creative is also terrible and lacks real vision or connection to what is relevant. Because the founders refuse to second guess their positions they seem aimless in regards to who they are and what their strategy is. This is an agency that exists because of a few clients and without them they would shut down so I didn't feel particularly safe in terms of job security. This was one of the worst working experiences I've had in my career and that is saying something. Toxic.
