Pros

- Family feel - Small agency mentality means everyone can work in the areas they desire, you can step outside your role and have influence across the business - Some great people

Cons

- Unable to convert new clients and business meant work just dried up - Very hard to balance periods of being very busy and then no work a few months later - Leadership team seemed unable to drive new business and some questionable decisions made about who was responsible for driving this meant it fell between the cracks - When brought by SGS it was clear they were diluting the very areas of the business that made WdV standout. It was just going to be turned into an artwork production roll out machine, very sad

Pros

The physical environment is nice and the location is a great area to experience in Chicago.

Cons

The atmosphere is negative and tense. There is a sort of high school attitude of judgement and poor work ethic throughout. Though the company has been going through many changes, it continues to feel as if everyone wants the company to be something entirely different so there is always this very high tension felt with the higher up positions/employees. The management for each team here is practically non-existent. My personal team "leader" was far less experienced than myself as a junior designer and they did not support and work with me, but instead they were defensive, lazy and ultimately very uninspiring.
