Pros

From the outside looking in, the client roster is wide-ranging and exciting. There's opportunity to meet and learn from talented individuals and leaders (this is completely dependent upon the department you join).

Cons

- Don't believe the fake five-star reviews. There is a deep-rooted issue with the company if upper management feels the need to post fake reviews to help with their hiring process. - Upper management needs a lot of work. There are individuals in managerial positions that lack the leadership skills and qualifications necessary to ensure employees are given the guidance they need to succeed. - A toxic culture of gossip, bullying, cliques, and secrecy. Watched some of the most talented, hardworking people become disillusioned overnight due to the way they were treated by the CEOs. - Individuals that succeed here are "yes men". Beware if you like to ask questions or understand "why". - Low pay for work that burns people out quickly. They constantly give out sabbaticals to ensure employees don't leave. High turnover rate.

Pros

The owner of the company is very flexible to work with. He offers constructive criticism and is always willing to listen and coach me to do my job better. The financial controller is always very helpful and was very patient training me in my first few months and always willing to give me tips and help me to excel at my job. I'm very happy to be working here.

Cons

It gets very stressful sometimes because the nature of my job is very stressful, sensitive and confidential

Pros

A few sweet colleagues who are sympathetic

Cons

I don't know where to begin but will say that this work experience was at the very bottom of the list of experiences I've regrettably had in my life. Management got involved in petty spats which caused a lot of drama and unnecessary stress. I witnessed very disturbing actions many times which caused a culture of trepadation and fear through the company. The culture at this agency is very tense and unsupportive. Unskilled management was very blame focused without offering team support when very much needed. Now that I have some distance and have worked with other agencies and brands I see a lot of cracks operationally and would never hire this company for an event nor encourage anyone to consider working there.
