Pros
Location, location, location. 180 is still living off their creative reputation from the Amsterdam days. That's about it.
Cons
Where do I start? The two guys at the top are going through personal issues and they've let their personal stuff impact their day to day jobs. Some days, they don't even show up. They are so disconnected to reality, it's a joke. The agency has no vision and leadership is non-existent. The founder quit a few months ago because he was so fed up. The agency continually gets smaller. They don't work with Pepsi anymore, Boost Mobile is no longer a client, fired by HP and they're still trying to get Miller Lite in a good place. I'd be surprised if the place exist in a year. TBWA will just end up absorbing the agency. When I was hired, there was no on-boarding process. They told me where to sit and that was it. Training is non-existent. 180LA is an agency run by white guys at the top. From top to bottom. No HR, people can't leave fast enough, they can't even find people to come work there. All this agency cares about is awards. UNICEF and Expedia work is great, but UNICEF is pro-bono. It's the Titanic all over the again.
