Pros

Nice co-workers, free food and went out to dinner more than any other place I've ever worked at.

Cons

How this Ad Agency survives is beyond me. They have a handful of clients that allow them to float I'd guess. CEO at the time was aloof and said all of three words to me in 2 years. Creative Director was absolutely clueless. When he couldn't win new clients because he is an uneducated fool, he'd blame his employees. He billed himself a Digital Creative Director but privately admitted to not seeing the value in social media. His ideas were old, his management style was to pressure his people into creating good work. "Failure is not an option" was his favorite phrase. To this day he remains the most abusive creative "leader" that I've ever worked for. You can't talk about TFG without discussing glorified IT Director who envisions himself as some sort of genius. Clients hate him because he is a pompous and lack basic people skills. Everything in his words an mannerisms seemed to say "I'm better than you".

Pros

Great work atmosphere and amazing people to work with and for. Leadership is always encouraging growth and development. Great opportunities to further your knowledge with WPP programs. It's a place where hard work is recognized, and everyone has the chance to contribute to the company’s success.

Cons

The fast-paced nature of the food industry can sometimes lead to tight deadlines or long hours, which can be a bit stressful at times. However, this is something that comes with the territory, and the team always pulls together to meet those challenges.
