Pros

Resource has a number of high-level clients with long-term relationships. This strategic alliance with their clients allows them a lot of flexibility to go beyond the normal agency work and bring reality-changing ideas to their customers. Employees will drink from the fire hose learning lots of different things about digital in a short amount of time. If you look back at many of the digital execs in Columbus, a large amount are former Resource employees and they always look to Resource for help. Lats of upward mobility available. There are lots of different things to do and different areas to specialize in. In my time, I witnessed employees move from a developers to strategists, designers to developers, interns to managers and consultant to conference speaker. These things aren't available in 98% of the jobs out there and that is why Resource is so unique in Columbus.

Cons

I don't have a whole lot of cons other than all the opportunities that are available mean employees have to work hard to learn. If a person is not a hard worker or hungry to learn, than this isn't a good place for you.

Pros

Great culture, good people, and a small shop that allows you to wear many hats. There is also a great opportunity for discretionary and company-wide bonuses, which is a benefit of workign for a privately owned company

Cons

Overall, I think Resource-Ammirati needs to take a deep breath and identify what their niche is as an agency. Like most agencies are these days, they're pushing for the "Integrated Offerings" angle, but they are rooted in digital and don't have any experience in running integrated campaigns. I found myself struggling any time someone asked what we specialized in, and that came through when searching for and pitching new business. The lack of clients comment seems to be specific to the Chicago office, but during the last year of employment at Resource-Ammirati, the strongest piece of business we had was a second-tier incontinence brand. If managment really wants to gain success in the Chicago office, they need to shift some at least 1 strong client to that office, or go win some sexy business that the employees will be proud to work on.
