Svantaggi
If you don't have a big personality, you're not going to fit in with the culture and will likely be laid off (even if you're not directly affected by a revenue loss). It's very much a work hard play hard culture. Yes, there's an abundance of drinking at the office, and you can wear jeans and flannel each day, but that doesn't make up for the fact that you're also going to work 60+ hours each week and be expected to check emails on weekends, evenings, holidays, vacation days, etc (always on). But that's how the advertising industry works, so..... Also, the many recent changes in management have created a poisonous culture where nobody knows what their role is and everyone thinks they're being underpaid/overworked/abused even when they really aren't. Most of the staff is very young and exhibits all of the stereotypical millennial attitudes and behaviors. Very frustrating if you're not "one of them".
