Pros
You get paid, usually on time. Sometimes the full amount that is promised! Dangling carrots is a good way to get people to work harder and you end up learning a lot in a short period of time because of the workload.
Cons
Horrible management, especially working with the portfolio of cycling clients. No real benefits other than outdoor prolink. Insane expectations and zero help or support from anywhere in the agency. If you ask for help or share any constructive feedback it backfires and results in management suggesting “you might not be cut out for agency life” Was referred to as a senior executive multiple times and when I inquired about it they told me “it was for appearances, and I wasn’t actually a senior” struggled to ever have them give me adequate raises and was promised raises that never actualized. Never got to use any of the products I was pitching although my “manager” received free product constantly but did 0 work for the clients other than consuming time in meeting with fluff and corporate jargon.
