Pros

This a challenging and rewarding place to work and out of all of the large agencies in the area I believe its the best.

Cons

They need to do a better job rewarding employees who have put in time with the company. Salaries are not competitive and they almost force you to leave to make what you are worth.

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.
