Pros
Very solid Excel experience - went from beginner to solid intermediate Excel user in first 6 months, you can use this job to learn pretty much everything short of VBA if you want to. Work with legacy clients who have some of the largest marketing budgets around, end up getting decent exposure to their strategic thinking at the analyst level Most managers are smart people who want you to succeed, though some are known to be indecisive which can definitely work against you in crunch time
Cons
Sean Rice - his breathing will make you cringe by the end of your first week. He is a caricature of wealth. Makes male analysts carry his eccentric purchases to and from his car - imported butter, petrified wood decorations, metal sculptures. One of the least socially aware people I've ever met. He will just start violently screaming through the office seemingly at no one. Makes absolutely disgusting and downright legally liable comments about women in the office - e.g. suggesting potential stripper names for some of the women in the office. A man who hasn't heard the word "no" in 25 years. Hours and hours are spent appeasing him, he assumes that everyone working at HRG is also his personal employee. Made one of the IT guys spend what must have been a week designing a menu for a dinner party he was throwing. Analysts have to do "kitchen duty" where you go out and buy cups, milk, etc for the office, also have to answer the phone when the office manager is away from her desk. Hardly any effort put into maintaining employee morale, most people don't want to be there and it's very obvious Hours can get pretty long in the week or two before client presentations.
