Pros

Exposure to a lot of variety and you can use the experience to learn the basics in design, work with a diverse client list, and sometimes work with some REALLY talented people.

Cons

You are a monkey and a number. Middle management is ego fueled and steps on fingers to keep you under them. Upper management doesn't know how to manage an agency this size and struggles with employee development. Really sad that opportunities for growth and salary advancement have to come from their name on your resume and you seeking employment elsewhere. Really a toxic environment.

Pros

Everyone is really great to work with and the culture is great even being remote. Good projects for your resume.

Cons

They seem to do decent sized layoffs almost every quarter even if they know work will only slow down temporarily. They then reach out to hire you as a contractor when projects pick back up again and they are short staffed. It’s not a stable job by any means. I’ve coworkers who put more than 15 years into the company get laid off and then rehired as contract two months later. Horrible business model.
