Pros
I love working out of a regional office. The team is super small, but very knowledgeable. My team is always willing to help and genuinely just want you to succeed. The job itself is very rewarding. Work hard play hard motto.
Cons
They cut everyone’s salary by about 10%
Advice to Management
Try to be a little less passive aggressive

Pros
I started here out of college, and it really is a great place to learn about the industry and work with people who have been in advertising for a long time. You get a tremendous base here.
Cons
The company culture is toxic. Plain and simple. There is not accountability from upper management when things go wrong. They always blame the client, when often times they are simply not trying hard enough at their jobs. And who can blame them? Since the pay is insignificant and the health benefits are HORRIBLE. In addition to this, the research tools and software being used are outdated and only being used... because they are the cheapest option. The building is beautiful and everything seems great on the outside, but a little rotten when on the inside. Don’t stay for longer than a year.

So many things. Start with paying people more and trusting your employees. People walk on eggshells instead of being honest about challenges/problems because they fear retaliation.

Pros
Dog friendly agency, big building that we share with other agencies, discounted meals, and I feel very welcomed.
Cons
Pay is on the low side due to current state of the automotive industry, but hopefully it will change soon.

Pros
People and perks such as various motivational speakers and activities geared to inspire
Cons
Pay - if only the pay was more competitive it would show that the employees are valued
Advice to Management
Please review the possibility of giving raises - some individuals really go above and beyond and your appreciation (shown by way of merit increases) would go over well

Pros
If you’re fresh out of college and want to build your knowledge of the ad world, Zimmerman is a good place to start. And the occasional social event was a treat.
Cons
While they often express their gratitude for their employees, it’s not often shown, either through compensation or even appraisals. A job well done is seldom recognized unless the company benefits greatly from it. The 24/7 seriously mentality is no joke, meaning work/life balance is hard to come by. And transparency is non existent. Truth is often hidden if it’s negative and often skirted around. Having worked... there over 4 years, my departure and how it was handled was less than desirable. Even when I had expressed that I was taking steps to improve my mental health, there seemed little to no concern for my well being, and it seemed to have been dismissed.

Transparency, even in tough times.
