Pros

You learn a lot and gain access to great companies when embedded. If you don't like your team, there is flexibility to transition to a different team or sister company.

Cons

Leadership was a bit disjointed, but willing to course-correct and address issues. You may be embedded within a company (essentially becoming that company's employee), but receive none of their benefits or high salary. Ex: You'll make $80-90K as an embedded employee, while your counterparts on the client side (performing similar tasks) are making $100k+ with access to all company bonuses and benefits. You'll have a non-compete, so you may not be able to work for the company you're embedded in after leaving Media.Monks.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
