Pros
-excellent, talented, ambitious, and creative people to work with -great central Ottawa/Glebe location -diverse list of clients, so a diverse amount of work is available -good place to start to figure out what direction your career should take, if an agency atmosphere is right for you, and what you do and do not want out of an office job
Cons
-poor communication. The owner establishes rules for communication and conflict resolution but rarely follows through -owner tries to pit employees against one another, rather than fostering the "team environment" she talks about -owner has zero experience in marketing/advertising; many times a campaign will be built on shaky foundation -no HR department to allow for unbiased conflict resolution -owner more concerned about image/aesthetics than growing a powerful team -owner rarely recognizes achievements made on behalf of her staff to better the company
