Pros

- You learn so much, so fast. - 2-3 years in an ageny like this is like 5 years in-house - You get accustomed work under pressure - GM and leadership are great. - Solid benefits -Location is prime

Cons

- Hours are long. But if you spend your time efficiently you are out at 5. - If you don't put in the effortand can't keep up, it WILL be noticed and you won't last long here. - Pay could be better but is still competitive - There are alot of supervisors but not alot of mid-entry level. Can feel like alot of eyes are watching you when in reality they can't perform the same tasks. - The desk areas gives off a solid Office-Space vibe. Can be very dull.

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
