unclear future. - Cannot Say, Mid Level john st. Employee Review

Great place to work. Really loved the people and the environment. Thanks to a friend who got me the job.

I did think the place was a bit disorganized but for the most part I was happy that it was clean. I did not like the people

Surrounded by smart, fun, hard-working people who take great pride in what they do. Lots of dogs. Good parties. Perfect location. The usual perks of working in a hip downtown agency, in other words. Getting to work on so many big national brands is an uncommon opportunity in this country. And the high success rate on new business pitches is incredible for morale and unparalleled in the industry.

Constantly adding more and more business is cool (fun to be on a "winning" team), but only so long as the accounts are properly resourced, which never happened. Being asked to do more with less is one thing; when it's presented as "We're all in this together!" by wealthy people with expensive cars and cottages? Leaves a really bad taste. And to say that the place is cliquey is a huge understatement. A team who had left the agency under stressful circumstances were openly ridiculed at a departmental offsite. There's a thread of mean-spiritedness that belies the agency's brand of nice-people-doing-great-work ,though Arthur, the CEO, and Jane, the MD, are genuinely wonderful people. Some of the cool kids in high school are super nice and charismatic, and some are bullies that people are afraid of. This place could use more of the former and fewer of the latter.
