Pros
- Good clients and you gain experience managing multiple accounts/ creating content decks and brainstorming broader strategies. - management team often gets very close due to shared toxic experience with leadership.
Cons
- managers are overworked with little to no praise and an upper management team that is either part time or spread equally as thin. - leadership team creates an environment where employees are overrun and scared to make mistakes. - there are no boundries. leadership will frantically contact you with easily solvable problems despite the hour and if you are working that day. - leadership is unaware of what goes on within each account and client, often wasting the time of content managers or designers when they need any assistance or guidance - managers and employees are often thrown under the bus during client meetings and there is no sense of support within the agency - people are always leaving due to burn out or once they realize the work structure / workload at CA is unmanageable, creating a frantic office environment where everyone is always playing catch up and clients are left unhappy - leadership piles unnecessary tasks on to managers despite all client tasks and projects they are already responsible for - prior to my time there, at least 4 people had quit that same role in less than a year. I also quit after staying up insane hours for no praise and was faulted for having outstanding work one week despite having an insane workload and having to work overtime daily and on the weekend. - Leadership never once considered that everyone was quitting because the expectation was unrealistic with little payoff and the agency fosters a toxic presence. they're happy just cycling through managers without actually fostering a good workplace.
