Pros
One or two out of the many Creative Directors and Account Directors there were knowledgeable and inspiring. I got to produce work for well known clients.
Cons
Alcone Marketing was almost perpetually understaffed. They had no HR department. There was low moral throughout the Creative Department. The Account Department couldn't manage client expectations or were too overwhelmed to. There was fast turnover of employees, as well as frequent layoffs. You can't create in a vacuum and Alcone was a vacuum. They wanted to own their employees' lives 24-7 so don't plan on gaining any creative inspiration or ideas from the other areas/interests/people of your life because you won't have any. You'll be too busy working ridiculous hours and weekends for a mediocre salary because they won't spend the money to staff up properly and can't hold onto good employees long enough to ever have adequate staff. Terrible place to work if you are female or have a spouse/kids.
