Pros

Health benefits are decent but that's it

Cons

Lack of Supportive Leadership: Current leaders do not uplift or properly guide employees, especially in handling mistakes. Punitive Approach to Mistakes: Mistakes are treated punitively rather than as learning opportunities, creating a culture of fear rather than growth. Undermining DEI Principles: The leadership's approach conflicts with diversity, equity, and inclusion principles, failing to create a supportive and inclusive environment. Stifled Employee Growth: The absence of constructive feedback and mentorship hinders professional and personal development among employees. Negative Work Environment: The leadership style contributes to low morale and a negative atmosphere within the company. Lack of Empathy in Management: There is a noticeable deficit in empathy and understanding from management towards the challenges faced by employees.

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.
