Pros
People who work here are generally very talented and hardworking.
Cons
Harmon Group was probably a top-notch agency in 1989, so why not stick to what worked then. That is definitely the mentality of the CEO, Rick Arnemann. The CEO does not trust or empower those who understand contemporary marketing strategy. While there is plenty of talent among the staff at Harmon, it is continuously torn down by the CEO which results in excessive over promising and under delivering to clients. Harmon tries to project that the place has a unique ad agency culture. That is not the reality. Most employees here are just working a job and trying to keep their sanity while working for a CEO who lacks real management skills.
