I worked at Saatchi & Saatchi full-time
Pros
I would say there are none. Just that it is a name to put on your resume.
Cons
This review is for the Toyota TDA in New York City. - Upper management does not have the skills they need to push S&S Toyota TDA in to the new generation. All of your time will be spent on broadcasting spots or countless banner ads for sales events that disappear in a month. There is no push for important advertising like Social or long lasting campaigns. - Account acts like they are your client, not a team vibe...

Treat your employees with respect. It's that simple.
I have been working at Saatchi & Saatchi full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
Management has the passion to keep strong employees within the company - helping to promote or shift in the agency should an employee desire. The new Dallas space is by far one of the best cultures I've worked in - open seating, a bunch of huddle spaces to squat on a couch and get away from your desk.
Cons
It can be difficult working in the Dallas office if some of your team members are based in LA - need to get situated of the multiple daily conference calls vs in person sessions able to take place.

I have been working at Saatchi & Saatchi full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
The hours are good and some of the people are nice. You get to produce a lot of work. Not that most of it is that great.
Cons
The quality of creative is not great. Also, there is a lot of mismanagement. It's too bad because it doesn't have to be like that it the creative directors stood up for the creative more.
Advice to Management
Grow more of a spine and stand behind the creative work. Put more pressure on the account directors to provide comprehensive briefs.

I have been working at Saatchi & Saatchi full-time
Pros
the people are nice, good area in the city (375 Hudson), good agency name to have on resume
Cons
the current working environment is not good, we have the worst floor in the building, its been in construction for months, the onboarding/orientation process was also very unusual, it was basically just yourself and the HR rep in her office going over a packet of benefits and then you having to figure out the rest for your self, I also didn't get a complete overview of my position and role responsibilities until a month...

please help the office at 375 Hudson, its in bad condition, there are also limited or no supplies (napkins, ice, simple things..) improve the on-boarding and orientation process, I would have expected more from a worldwide and well known agency.

I worked at Saatchi & Saatchi full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
Really great co-workers met some genuinely talented and smart individuals
Cons
Old agency thinking too much focus on TV instead of digital no job growth
Advice to Management
invest in the future of advertisement by elevating digital to the same standard as TV spots
I have been working at Saatchi & Saatchi full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
I love the sense of company culture at Saatchi & Saatchi. Management tries to keep morale high.
Cons
Sometimes the management is only concerned about big picture and let's things slide in the meantime.
I worked at Saatchi & Saatchi full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
I worked independently, so I scheduled my own week. Didn't have someone micromanaging me or asking what I was doing. Just because I was left to my own devices to learn a ton of new things, I was able to advance professionally and apply my skills to figure out things on my own.
Cons
Poor management (mixed direction, unclear about changes) Focused on profit and not overall health of the team
Advice to Management
There are SO MANY talented people out there who can really deliver amazing Digital Advertising and turn your company very profitable. Pay attention to the rockstars!
