Pros

This company is now out of business. Closed its doors for good in Feb. 2019. Due to client and employee mismanagement dating back to 2011 and a horrible managing director who encouraged it all

Cons

No one in senior or middle management ever learned from their mistakes. Any success was mostly a lie and built on luck in having some accounts handed to them via attrition from sister agencies. Never had any new wins...ever.

Pros

The culture is lovely; I feel like part of a team. I love seeing people encouraged to try on new roles, which are available because of the small size. There are some smart people here, too! The location, right on Route 22, is convenient. Work/life balance is encouraged.

Cons

Some growing pains; everyone needs to take on the process so there's consistency across all accounts.

Pros

A part of Publicis, which allows for generous PTO and benefits Provides decent work life balance Some teams are very positive and collaborative

Cons

Due to the incompetency of senior management, 80% of business was placed within one book of business. Client could not rely on the strategic lead assigned and added to the demise of the business. Due to the loss in business, incompetency of senior leadership and terrible business model, hardworking talent was let go. Additionally, the agency now is without a Managing Director, SVP of Client Service and a Creative Director. The little culture that we did have has been crushed and the morale is severely low. Individuals making decisions “at the top” currently don’t seem to understand what they are doing and are floundering in the process. People who are currently making decisions do not seem qualified or have the experience to make this agency successful again. Individuals within Maxcess being trusted to be informants for corporate are incompetent, unprofessional and not trustworthy--only looking out for their own job. What is currently going on in this agency is to say the least, heartbreaking. The issues are at the top. Get the right Managing Director in the seat, build a strong foundation and groom/build your junior/mid level employees--damage has already been done because of leaderships ineptitude.
