Pros

- nice, chill office (with snack-filled pantry) to work in if you are willing to commute - friendly culture that makes it easy for you to approach anyone

Cons

- health insurance may seem impressive (BUPA Gold) but does not include dental claims - onboarding is skimpy (was informed I'll have a work buddy for first month but I had no one) - no year-end bonus or office shut-down for the holidays (unlike other agencies which shut for 2 weeks in Dec)

Pros

It's been such a pleasure, joy and fresh air to work here. I'm respected, as is my work life balance.

Cons

Leadership hasn't always been consistent with their words and actions, making it feel scary and tumultuous at times.

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.
