Pros

Fast learning in e-commerce because you will be thrown in the deep end from day 1. Big clients because of omnicom (many of which are at the risk of churn/ losing defensive RFPs)

Cons

You either sink or swim. If you sink with the overloaded workload stretching across too many workstreams / accounts. It's your fault. If you swim, you will be rewarded with more work and no compensation or growth. All good folks have already left or are planning their exits across all offices and management is delusional. Everyone is saving their own backside.

Very bad place to work

Pros

- Unlimited PTO - Decent salary

Cons

- The company is extremely political. Individuals don’t move up based on merit but based on arbitrary favouritism by management. - Very much an executive driven company where executives are consistently promoted and treated well but underlying employees who actually do the work are treated badly - Leadership team has no vision for the company and is overall incompetent - No opportunities for advancement or career development for majority of employees - The company has the downside of a startup where there is no process, playbook, or properly assigned roles. On the flip side it has the larger company downside of moving slow with lots or red tape when making decisions I understand that glass door reviews can be biased because most are outgoing employees that had bad experiences but these points are felt by a good majority of the employees I’ve worked with. The leadership seems to have no willingness or ability to change course.

Pros

- The people. Hands down. A fantastic group of people to work with. All understanding of how unfair and high expectations are... so they're all friendly, helpful and generally fantastic to work with. - Pay is fairly strong compared to a lot of agencies right now

Cons

- The workload has to be the most insane I've ever experienced. There is no joy in this job - none at all - no fun to be had. Just work work work 24/7 . You will be working late almost every day. The work is Endless , you will slowly begin to dread waking up for work everyday. This is a fact unfortunately. - The tech is atrocious. Login issues, reporting discrepancies... the list goes on - The clients run rough shod over management and leadership , they get what they want and just endlessly demand whatever they want from you. -Turnover is out of control . You will be expanding beyond your Business Unit and helping to close the gaps all the time. - If you specialize in Search like myself... it doesn't matter. You'll be doing Programmatic and Retail as well with the roll out of the 'spokes' Model. The amount of time given to learn and master skills outside your wheel house can range from days to at most weeks . Very unfair and unappealing - Meetings and calls .... it's absolutely silly how much your on calls a week. Minimum 3 hours a day , usually close to 5. You have no time to get your work done ... except on your own time and of your own accord. -3x a week in office, no exceptions. - QBR's, Monthly reports, Weekly reports without exception. Forget time to optimize, you're just creating endless reports and presentations here. Clients have access to our reporting but we just continue to create reports all day every day anyway.... completely taking away flywheel's Value add - Optimization expertise - Minimal culture or fun to be had here, just work all the time. I strongly recommend considering other options - one of the least enjoyable jobs i've ever had.
