Pros

Great office manager, great office, great PTO, clueless bosses so they have no clue you only work 20 of your 40 hours per week, but actually think you work 40+. If you work in IT or are one of the chosen ones you will get a raise.

Cons

Ruthless, petty, manipulative Operations and CFO personal. They have no HR department. They keep leaving because they can't stand that the Operations & CFO run the show in an very un-ethical way. They are horrible people that don't have hearts. Simon and his Danish mafia have no clue how to run an Ad-Agency in the States. They are unknown in the industry due to poor salesmanship. They company will get no ware if they don't change their ways. Their motto is "lie" to your clients, lie to your new business clients and lie your staff. What they don't understand is everyone sees through their lies. They go through a New Business Director every 6 months and yet each one tells them the same information, but they don't want to hear it. The managers do not have their employees back. They sell them down the river as fast as they can. All new employee's are hired as contract/freelancers so they can cut them loose silently and quickly. The CFO, Emily, has no problem telling everyone that they will not get a raise and that they should just be happy they have a job. Not a way to build moral. All while they take home short term incentive bonus' each year. The best way to survive here is to do as little work as possible and get out of dodge.

Pros

Great office and the people there all are great. Everyone goes above and beyond for the clients and to get work down. Monthly events and weekly happy hours are great.

Cons

The past year has been horrible. Continuous layoffs, only hiring contractors, pay freezes, and an even more demanding workload. Senior management within the office is completely lost and in way over their heads. They don't have any solutions and are driving away the best people. It is sad as most of the best people either left or were laid off. Management talks about loyalty but constantly lays people off. The people left either are looking for new jobs elsewhere or just can't find anything better.
