Pros

Used to be okay, but it's gone downhill quickly. Fully remote work is nice, but there are other opportunities.

Cons

Over 3 years of added responsibilities and title change by "word of mouth", zero change in title change on paper or compensation. Compensation adjustments did not occur once despite added responsibilities. Many empty promises in this regards. Leadership has no concrete direction - mentions one program to be important to their mission while laying off parts of that team at the same time. A lot of churn and critical knowledge + people exiting the company.

It's been such a pleasure, joy and fresh air to work here. I'm respected, as is my work life balance.

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.
