Respectful Workplace

Pros

Some of the best in their field work at Advocate Digital Media. We have mutual respect for one another, and, if we disagree, we do so in a respectful way. It's a very client-focused environment, constantly striving to match the right products with the clients' needs. It's a challenging environment, constantly changing digital landscape, so always keeps you on your toes. The team gels very well and you often hear co-workers say they enjoy getting up and coming to work.

Cons

Being a small company, we have had our growing pains, often having to work on projects that fall outside the scope of your usual responsibilities.

Pros

Flexible with home-work balance, good natured team, lots of opportunities to learn, plenty of perks. The environment is results driven so there aren't a lot of rules in the way.

Cons

It's very fast paced for a small town agency.

Pros

These people will by and large treat you well. They respect your need to have a work-life balance and they do anything in their power to assist in that. This is definitely one of the better company cultures I've seen, particularly compared to other ad agencies and media jobs. There's plenty of company happy hours and people like being with one another. Office politics and drama are relatively scarce. Unsurprisingly, office turnover is rather rare. Employees can take a huge amount of ownership on projects and collaborations with the company. As long as the clients sign off at the end (which can be challenging on occasion), there's a lot of free reign to experiment and try new things. Management encourages such things and does a good job for the most part of supporting its staff. The facilities are top-notch. The company's in a new building that's less than a year old and the building its in is one of the nicer ones in the region. The majority of the office is open-concept, with large TVs, big windows and pretty artwork adorning the walls.

Cons

At ADM, any and all problems (of which there are very few) fall under one of two connecting issues. The first issue is that the company is in Victoria, Texas. In V-Town, the economy is life-dependent on the oil industry. When the industry is booming, there's literally not enough hands in the office to deal with the flow of money that hits the agency. However, when oil is bad, everything goes with it. Some clients stop spending freely, and some projects can be reduced or change in nature for the ad agency. However, there's great management from this company that minimizes the impact of economic downturns. The second downside is that the job is inherently linked to the newspaper industry, for better and for worse. This ad agency is a sister company of a newspaper chain which presents its own issues, but the ad agency has proven itself as the economic engine of the chain, which helps cement its status in the occasional internal power struggle. Overall, it's not a bad gig. I'd most recommend this ad agency to new professionals or kids coming out of college. This is a great place to get your feet wet with a supporting environment.
