Vantaggi

After reading some of the other reviews on this site I could not agree more. The company culture is based on fear and bias. This environment is not conducive to growth and success. Please apply elsewhere!

Svantaggi

Personally, I feel that accountability is truly lacking in upper management. I believe in leading by example. Instead a narcissistic management style is apparent after one day on the job. During my time there, I was surprised to learn how many of the agency's employees are truly unhappy and are secretly applying to other companies. The rest of the employees have to actively justify the top management's poor decisions in order to make themselves feel more secure about their current jobs. It seemed like some sort of strange social experiment instead of a professional workplace. Save yourself the time and effort and simply skip over Kastner and Partners' job postings.

Vantaggi

- The nearby Whole Foods has phenomenal veggie chili. - The few good souls will quickly become your allies and friends, as you’ll be in the trenches battling for survival of any decent creative. - You’ll likely be out the door on time most days, because there’s nothing approved by the global creative team, lending to little output. Unless you have the misfortune of working on a new business pitch. - The Red Bull clients are insightful and are equipped with both production and media expertise. Anything you learn here will be gleaned from yourself and your clients, as there is no agency leadership.

Svantaggi

- Professionalism hasn’t found its way to K&P. - Misogynistic remarks are rewarded. - Harassment and disrespect abounds, and there is no HR department. - Upper management blatantly avoids responsibility and the need for adaptation in order to foster growth. The billing system hasn’t been updated in over a decade. - Lack of true agency vision - Zero digital chops, no potential for non-templated work or original content - Broadcast is limited to flanker spots - Out of touch with current best practices, agency culture and LA tech scene - Misrepresentation of true client roster and capabilities (the award-winning Red Bull work, culture and content is not produced by K&P) - Mr. Kastner does not write emails, uses a flip phone, and does not believe in social media. He approves every piece of (templated) creative that leaves the building. As such, hardly anything actually leaves the building.
