Pros

Smart people. Interesting work. Parking paid for. Closed the week between xmas and new years which means you don't have to use vacation days.

Cons

Terrible health benefits. It's an agency.....so you are always swinging around at the end of the whip. High burn-out rate. Poor work/life balance.

Pros

* Talented, passionate team members who care deeply about their work and clients. * Some legacy client relationships still provide opportunities for meaningful and rewarding work.

Cons

* New business development has stagnated. The agency hasn’t secured a significant new client in years, due to outdated approaches and the absence of a dedicated business development function. * Decision-making is overly centralized. The CEO remains deeply involved in day-to-day matters, which limits the autonomy of team leads and sidelines strategic voices. * High turnover has become a persistent issue, leading to knowledge loss, instability, and burnout. * Compensation lags behind market benchmarks; raises are infrequent, bonuses are rare, and salary reductions of up to 20% have occurred. * There is minimal investment in employee development, training, or long-term career growth.
