Vantaggi
Great office available downtown Detroit with great walkability to Woodward Ave. The benefits packages were good, same with the technology offered. I really enjoyed the yearly Health & Wellness Reimbursements that paid for additional office supplies and gym memberships. They have generous PTO benefits once you work over 2 years at the company. Clients & other agencies offered fun company oriented activities from time to time.
Svantaggi
Management and other team members were very cliquey and didn't offer their subordinates any room for growth or mentorship. It was clear to see that you needed to be a certain "type" of individual or further on in your career for anyone to care about you. There was no true "end of year reviews" and feedback was never given at a consistent pace that allowed for learnings. Micro-management was brutal and harsh. Managers were not trained properly and did not know how to handle difficult situations. They would flee from any problems and not face them head on. Pure dedication to work and allowing for a more transparent workplace was low. Working from Home did not conduce any sort of feeling of appreciation or culture at the agency. Upon being laid-off for "down-sizing" reasons, not a single person reached out to me from the almost 4 years I worked there. They were cold, soulless, and did not show that they even cared about the hard work and dedication put in for the amount of years I have been there. I was essentially ghosted upon the spot.
