Not bad, just not worth it

Pros

You can tell walking through the door that these people have been through a tough time and are trying to get it right.

Cons

As other reviewers have observed, this is not really an agency: it doesn't feel like it, the work isn't there and the leadership does not understand the business of creativity. On top of that, there's the whole Hispanic advertising drama: it's a dying market and they have been trying to turn the agency around for years but can't. They just don't get it.

Pros

Beautiful office and some really cool people, solid creative direction.

Cons

They had this very creative guy as their CEO, now they have two racist grandpas that want to rip clients off. All they care about is making money, there is absolutely no concern with the actual work, with the creative process. They are desperate and in the verge of closing the shop. It's just a bad place to be if you want to be creative and take risks. THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU COME HERE. ASK ABOUT THE WORK AND WHICH ACCOUNTS YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH.

The two old grandpas are actually very experienced marketers with over 20 years of client experience and 18 years of agency experience. (And by the way....we are not yet Grandpas). WE never take anything for granted. OUR MISSION everyday is to advance the position of our clients brands....to sell more Pizza, more Budweiser, more Home Improvement items for Lowes....more goods and services on behalf of our roster of Blue Chip clients. That's why we exisit.

Pros

There are still some really cool, smart and fun to work with people. Summer fridays.

Cons

This agency went from one of the best in the country to a complete disaster that can't win a single client or creative award. No vision, no philosophy but to avoid losing yet another client. On top of the layoffs (every quarter), the best people are leaving and they can't hire new people fast enough because: (A) nobody wants to work there and (B) new HR is not very "people friendly". It used to be a happy, vibrant place. You walk around the office today and all you see is a bunch of empty desks and sad people sending out resumes.
