Vantaggi

Office support staff is great. They send lots of stuff during pandemic like gifts, lunch, etc...great location in the Curtis Center (if location matters anymore). You can probably negotiate good $$$ (but apparently they sort of sold now so new private equity may not allow?)

Svantaggi

Don't know who runs the place (seems like a bunch of Senior "Partners"), very dated ways of thinking and marketing, no real desire to adapt to new thinking or technology. Most of the leadership would not be relevant in other agencies not because of age just because of very stale thinking. Some initiatives are just crazy. Lots of stuff changes fast- structure, departments, etc.. . Cheesy cow-puns on everything (like it's not even remotely funny?!? 3rd graders can write these puns) More focused on their own bad cow branding/self promotion ads/letterhead than what they are doing for clients. They actually force you to do "presentations" in Keynote with the "CALCIUM" template because "Keynote represents the Calcium brand better?" yet clients are like "why aren't you sending me a powerpoint with my template like I asked for?!?! "(lots of little stuff like that is crazy)

Vantaggi

Employees, overall, are welcoming and there to help adapt to the culture. Always some type of team activity to stimulate employee engagement. There’s camaraderie—it’s a small beating heart, but it exists. Decent salary with perks. Potential to grow if you have a clear career path. The agency is involved in enough associations to build sustainable network.

Svantaggi

While there are a few good folks, leadership as a whole is more concerned with titles and maintaining authority than actual change and company growth. Horrible use of talent—the favorites are overused and the specialists are underutilized, hidden in the shadows of the “superstars.” A very top heavy org with not enough junior associates to balance out workloads. Speak up about any inconsistencies and experience retaliation so subtle you’d think it was a figment of your imagination. While smaller agencies have their benefits, it does create a vacuum where everyone is cycling redundant ideas and thoughts cosplaying as innovation and progress. A lot of groupthink exists with very limited variety of perspectives. Gotta know how to play the game, because the fall from grace is brutal.
