Pros

Of all of the merchandising companies Advantage seems to be one of the better at giving their employees the freedom to do the job well. There is minimal oversight and as long as you are meeting the standards set for you they're fairly lenient. I never felt micromanaged.

Cons

Not a lot of training. When I started being unsuccessful I didn't know what questions to ask to get help. A lot of management is people you hardly see that only know you by numbers and statistics so if you're falling short it's difficult to know how to improve. Advancement is difficult. The employee job website doesn't give much information on what jobs are available & location is a huge factor in weather or not management positions are open to you.

Pros

Great company. Although laid off, we did get a severance package. Good PTO and flexibility.

Cons

I would suggest seeing if other positions within the company would be a good fit before laying off your good employees with no other options to keep them with the company.

Pros

There are pockets of talent and smarts on the creative side of the business, and I absolutely adored my immediate coworkers and my manager.

Cons

Senior leadership is an absolute mess. They will get us all together for these pep rallies, demand we “AMP IT UP”, then turn around and screw us mercilessly when it comes to raises, bonuses and job security. There is also quite a bit of platonic nepotism happening on the creative end of the business, with people who lend no real value to the work sitting at the very top of the creative pyramid solely because of their relationship to senior leaders. These people are being carried on the shoulders of their creative directors and ACDs, who are all criminally underpaid and under appreciated. With round after round of layoffs, no new wins, and leaders who demand high energy, long hours, and good attitudes at all times, I would strongly advise creatives to steer clear of this train wreck of an agency.
