Pros

-flexible schedule -PTO policy is kind of progressive -work with some nice people

Cons

-the company will over-work you, days can be long and it's normal to work weekends. -got some insane asks and right turnarounds from leadership as a member of production team. -production teams get blamed when clients are hard to work with. -CEO and company as a whole is pushing AI on production teams. -weird right wing, military centered culture especially within the past couple years. -zero job security, they don't give warnings just go straight to firing employees. -extemely toxic, unprofessional, bullying managers are tolerated so long as they're leading projects that win awards (Kristen Brockel)

Pros

Great agency to work at. The culture is highly positive and collaborative. The client roster is robust, and the work is exciting. Leadership is very transparent with the entire company about goals and the current state of the business.

Cons

Not a con, just a reality: Fast-paced agency.
