Pros

Not worth the pay unless really desperate

Cons

Current ED created a hierarchical structure with many layers of upper management, middle management, group leaders, team leaders. Where feedback from lower levels is filtered via broken telephone through the levels and either deflected or ignored along the way. ED claims to be open to feedback--but only if it's in line with his own agenda. There is no transparency and decisions are made from the top without any satisfactory explanation to lower levels. ED is manipulative and any disagreement or suggestions for change will result in your life being made more difficult until you finally leave. Beware of tasks/roles assigned by ED and upper management-- you may be set up for failure and left to take the fall even if what you did was previously 'approved' by upper management. You need to watch your back here.

Pros

Over the last year, the agency has been filled with more experts that are dedicated to continuing imre's growth as the AOR choice for clients.

Cons

As with any company who is growing (big or small), there are of course growing pains. While perceived by many as a "con", it is standard for any company. I've listed it here as a con, but I'll tell you I've worked at many agencies, large and small, and EVERY one of them has similar issues in their own way. That's just the nature of the industry we chose to work in.

Pros

Nice enough people, not really connected however.

Cons

Depending upon what account you're working on or what time zone you're working from not a whole lot of interaction with other employees. Also, truly felt like a number value or ungreased cog on a wheel.
