      Pros

      The office is clean and professional looking. It’s possibly an upside that you’ll get experience because the turnover is so bad.

      Cons

      Fergus Rooney the managing partner, is the main con and the cause of all the agency’s problems. Rooney mocks and insults every person in the agency. He screams during meetings because nothing is ever good enough. This causes unbelievable turnover and leads to work attended by freshmen with no experience scrambling. Then, because the work falls behind, he insults and screams even more. Thus, the majority of the agent life is spent on a pathetic and unnecessary goal: how do we avoid being yelled at for an hour? You only survive if you can sit there and take verbal punishment while admitting how wrong and dumb you are. And, to make it even worse, Fergus acts as if he is the event industry’s gift from God and has grandiose illusions about his agency’s greatness. In sum, 99% of my coworkers were miserable and planning on leaving as soon as possible. That will be you, if you work here.

      Pros

      Agency EA is in its 25th year as an award winning experiential marketing firm with creativity and logistics running through our veins. My experience here has shown me that no two days are the same, no two clients are the same, and as a result, the agency can be prone to shift processes, procedures and structure in a constant game of chase to make us a better, more efficient partner to our clients. The market changes, the economy changes, and the world around us continues to change, and I applaud that the organization is not the same today as it was a decade ago, or even 2 or 3 years ago. Change is good, and we've all learned to embrace it.

      Cons

      Along with the change can often come uncertainty, upsizing our team, and unfortunately at times, downsizing as well to preserve ourselves to do the best work for the best clients. While change is good, change can also be difficult to digest.
