Pros
- Aside from the top tier, the majority of the people that work here are hard-working, driven, and wonderful people. - If you can overlook the serious cons, beer and wine are on tap. - Nice rooftop deck if you are able to work away from your desk.
Cons
- Barkley is hemorrhaging employees for good reason, but refuses to acknowledge that there are any issues. - Loyalty is not rewarded in any way, nor is hard work. - Positions are incredibly underpaid for the industry in KC and the only way to advance is for someone above you to leave. - Salaries are not adjusted for cost of living each year. - Reviews are pointless as nothing changes, despite bringing up the same issues over and over again and taking it up the ladder. - The work is mediocre and many "ideas" are straight copies from other agencies/campaigns. - The higher ups are condescending, outright rude and rarely bring anything positive to the table. They expect employees to sacrifice their personal lives and happiness to get work done on that they then pat themselves on the back for.
