Vantaggi
SelectNY has a successful record of attracting big name clients with solid brand equity and sex appeal. This is an especially potent draw for print-focused creatives looking to build their books.
Svantaggi
There is a significant lack of mentorship, development, and training. The company habitually hires people to then let them sit unguided until they either leave or get laid off. Too often, employees are made to fill roles and take on responsibilities unfit for their titles or levels of experience. If you're a creative, prepare yourself for long nights of working and reworking mock-ups that will ultimately get canned (or worse, stolen) in the end. If you're account, you'll just be another person to set up meetings. If you're an assistant to one of the senior management ... run. Despite all of the talk of "Family" the senior leadership at this company has established a very toxic atmosphere that sets a very nasty tone. If you're not one of them (aka the cool kids / the mean girls / "the plastics") you can bet on systematic abuse and misuse. You will be insulted, taken advantage of, and consistently thrown under the bus.
