Growth Opportunities in trade for Long Hours - Account Manager Integrated Media Solutions Employee Review

Flexibiliity; working with all levels of employees; full service agency. Extremely talented video production group, all in-house. The social media talent is awesome!

Sometimes too busy to have regularly scheduled meetings. Deadlines are always an issue with most ad agencies, but they seem to handle them okay.

Immediate supervisors, whether aware of it or not, are not only managers to their subordinates, but are also leaders and potential mentors. My immediate supervisors were wonderful in their leadership and directional guidance, making my career knowledge enriching and satisfying.

L-O-N-G work days. Weekends too. Although a VPN (virtual private network) was in place so employees could access their desktop computers from elsewhere, working after hours or on weekends was common, normal, and acceptable. This is one industry in which people looked at you funny if you leave at 5 or 6pm, making remarks about you "working half a day". Work/life balance was heavily and unfairly gravitated to "work", leaving little for "life". So if you value the quality of your life, and your health, don't work for Integrated Media Solutions. Also, since there are two offices on opposite coasts, sometimes one coast would interact with the other outside of the other's business hours.
