Pros

No real positives - they had remote work but constantly keep teasing that everyone will need to be in the office

Cons

- absolutely terrible leadership - horrible with money - no performance reviews or opportunity for raises - they want you to work ten different jobs without proper pay - too many men trying to prove they can be leaders - there is no culture and older monks are stuck in the past on how things use to be - Sir Martin needs to step down

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
