Pros

Advantage Sales and Marketing will provide you excellent exeriences that you would not recieve any where else. You can start working at the very bottom of the company and quickly advance into senior levels with in the company. With in 8 months I was promoted to a District Manager and 1 year afterwards I was promoted to a Regional Managaer. In short, if you are looking to have a "tittle" I would reccomend working here, if you would like to have a life outside of work and or have a family this is not the place.

Cons

There is no work/life balance. You will work every weekend with out an option. The schedule is Thursday - Monday, with Tuesday and Wens, being your days off. But, wait.... Our corp office works Mon - Friday, so any updates that come down must be taken care of on tues and wens. In this type of industry you are unable to wait untill you come back to react to such an item. So you will work 7 days a week. As some find that this is ok, the pay is not worth the work. Club Supervisor - $30,000 District Manager - 38,000 - 40,000 Regional Manager - 48,000 As this pay is no where near industry average. There is an extremely high turnover rate, where every 10 days a manager leaves the company. Human Resources - During my 3 years with the company I have found out that HR runs the company. They implimented an Open Door policy in which any associate can complain about litteraly anything and HR will investigate it. I haved terminated many employees that I have found should have never been let go. But, due to politics there was no choice but too. So as many of you read this and wounder why does the open door policy bother you? I have been apart of investigations that an associate complained that someones husband (not working for us) was beating another employee at night. HR investigated this! I have seen many investigations that did not pertain to any work related items being investigated because another associate complained. Human resources as well has a high turn over and takes weeks to see results.

Pros

There are pockets of talent and smarts on the creative side of the business, and I absolutely adored my immediate coworkers and my manager.

Cons

Senior leadership is an absolute mess. They will get us all together for these pep rallies, demand we “AMP IT UP”, then turn around and screw us mercilessly when it comes to raises, bonuses and job security. There is also quite a bit of platonic nepotism happening on the creative end of the business, with people who lend no real value to the work sitting at the very top of the creative pyramid solely because of their relationship to senior leaders. These people are being carried on the shoulders of their creative directors and ACDs, who are all criminally underpaid and under appreciated. With round after round of layoffs, no new wins, and leaders who demand high energy, long hours, and good attitudes at all times, I would strongly advise creatives to steer clear of this train wreck of an agency.
