Pros

Can’t think of any pros

Cons

The senior management at this company lacks professionalism and exhibits egocentric behavior. The client services department is led by a team that, unfortunately, seems disconnected from effective client service practices. The executive leadership is predominantly male and tends to show little respect toward the client services team (predominantly female), creating a negative work environment. I had my initial reservations about joining, but I took a chance (left a job that I had), only to find a culture that feels exclusionary and closed to change. As a proud Muslim and person of colour, I’ve noticed that diversity and inclusivity are not valued here, and subtle discrimination exists, making it difficult to thrive. Furthermore, I was disappointed to hear about the leadership’s decision to express support for political stances in company-wide messages, which felt imposing too many employees, especially those with differing views. Overall, there are many other agencies with healthier, more inclusive work cultures that value diverse perspectives. I would advise others, particularly those who value inclusivity,stability to consider alternatives.

Pros

-One of strongest creative departments I have ever had the pleasure to work with -Most Colleagues are ready to roll sleeves up and tackle any project in their way. -Periodic in-person gatherings were great

Cons

-The leadership at BAM approaches problems passively, and reactively. -Client Service leadership was not solutions oriented -Finger-pointing culture is common -Poor high-level account management lead to massive attrition, impacting jobs. -No real training/DEI initiatives in place. It was talked about a ton, but never really activated. -
